Clocktower at Attingham Park
Clocktower at Attingham Park
The buildings that comprise Attingham Park are well worth exploring and the little motifs that you see can be very revealing; this clock would have dominated the lives of the domestic staff serving the estate owners when a few minutes lateness was of great importance, yet also the clock has stood for very many years, when a substantial number of those years were years in which time passed unnoticed and the rush and punctuality of former years was a mocking contrast to the time when the estate was in terminal decline.
