Geocache Description:

The only Jack Clock in The Shire...

The former National School in Castle Street, which opened in 1844 and closed in 1964, takes its name from the only known jack clock in Gloucestershire. The clock is older than the school, having been moved here from a watchmaker's shop in the High Street. P.H. Fisher remembered it being there in his childhood in the 1790s, but its date is unknown.

The black figure, or jack, is about two feet high, was described by Fisher as "turning his head, lifting his club, and striking the hours of day and night as they came round".
