The Clock Tower, at it is now known, is a Grade II listed building and continues to serve the villages of Aubourn and Haddington as it is surrounded by the graveyard with the village war memorial, which is still being used. The church was part demolished in the 1970’s and the remaining standing structure was saved from total demolition by the weight of public opinion with local residents raising funds to retain the building within the parish. It is at the heart of the two villages and is widely recognised as a local landmark introducing a welcome verticality into an essentially flat landscape and offers an added local interest in there being a magnificent working clock dedicated to the community.

Good solid gravel into grass

lovely short section that feeds into well maintained if bumpy grass track

part of the local bridleway

A timber-framed barn was given to the Quakers in 1701 by Thomas Robinson and almost completely rebuilt in stone to serve as the meeting house. A cottage attached to the south end was later converted to provide a ground floor room with a women's room in a loft above.

Took it the picture on a frosty day. I thought of the poem by John Keats; Eve of St Agnes (which is actually in January). Full of potholes showing a government that doesn't believe in road maintenance.

Good nobbly tyres needed when wet
