 A
Dorset Collection of Clocks
The
clock collection focusses on the "Golden Age" of clock making
in Dorset, from the late 17th to the 19th century. Most impressive
is the display of "Longcase", or "Grandfather"
clocks, arranged chronologically to show the development of styles.
Also on display are mechanisms of public clocks, such as those often
found on churches or other public buildings. There are also clocks
from across England and as far away as France.
Owermoigne
featured in the writings of Thomas Hardy, who called the town Nethermoynton.
Also in Owermoigne
is the Old Mill Cider
Museum.
