Holderness Church Safe

ST AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH is part of the Holderness Church Safe.

The initiative is aimed at increasing public awareness of the risks that churches face from criminals. Some churches have been specifically targeted by lead thieves.

If you see any suspicious activity around St Augustine’s Church – or any church – particularly at night, then please report it to the police on Telephone 101 (always ring 999 in an emergency).

NOTE: The Police do not mind if your call turns out to be a false alarm. However, your report of a suspicious person or a car’s registration number just might prevent a crime or lead to the capture of a villain!

Black Face Clock?

THE CLOCK on St Augustine’s Church is working again after its repair – but at first glance yesterday it had a markedly darker face!

After closer comparison with earlier photos then in actual fact it is the golden numbers, the hands and the outer rim that seems to have lost its gold sparkle!

Earlier picture of the clock showing its golden gleam!

It would be interesting to find out how the clock faces  are actually cleaned and repainted.

Is it done from the outside – and has this ever been caught on photo?

Can anyone enlighten us?

“It is hoped that the St Augustines Church Clock will be working again by the end of next week” – Jim Lindop Background: What’s happening with the clock?

What’s happening with St Augustine’s Church Clock?

ST AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH CLOCK is a landmark across the town. Many people use the clock and its bell chimes as they go about their daily business and so have missed the useful timepiece since it got stuck at 12 O’Clock.

Hedon Town Council have been informed that the company carrying out the routine maintenance and other work on the church Clock have encountered a problem, in that one of the cog-wheels that was cut, is not up to the required standard and that a new machine will have to be purchased to do the work. This will put the work back a number of weeks.

A letter is to be sent to the company expressing the Council’s disappointment and concerns at the length of time this work is taking. Therefore unfortunately the clock will not be working at Christmas or on New Years Eve!

Thanks to Jim Lindop for the information.

Christingle at St Augustine’s Church, Hedon

THE CHRISTINGLE SERVICE at St Augustine’s, Hedon is a celebration which brings together people of all ages from the community.

Traditionally, everyone receives a Christingle which is made of an orange, a lighted candle, and sweets on cocktail sticks, each part acting as a symbol of the Christian faith.

The Christingle Service takes place at the St Augustine’s Church on Wednesday 7th December 2011 at 6:00pm.

Don’t forget to check out our What’s On? page for more local events!

Time standing still at noon!

"Can't wait for 5 minutes past!"

PEOPLE may have noticed that the St Augustine’s Church clock seams fixed on 12 o clock! This is because Hedon Town Council have agreed for essential maintenance work to be carried out and the implementation of modifications and automation of the workings. This is to be completed, it is hoped, in time for Christmas.
