In the restorer's workshop
In 1995, Bernard Pratt, another lecturer at the College, persuaded the College Principal to offer the clock to Carisbrooke Castle Museum. At the same time, Ifan and Ann Thorner offered to complete the restoration on behalf of the museum.

		The dial: this is made of rolled brass sheet and engraved with Roman numerals.
		Ifan Thorner finished the restoration in his Freshwater workshop during 1996.

The mechanism was cleaned and conserved however some of the parts were too corroded to be used, so replicas were specially made. Other parts were missing and had to be designed and made, using information from similar clocks. A careful record was kept of all the restoratory work. Parts that were replaced are kept by the museum together with this record. Traces of the original blue paint were found on the frame, so it was repainted blue.

The escape wheel: most of the teeth were missing from the orginal, so a replica was made.

The Friends of Carisbrooke Castle Museum paid for the materials that were needed. Many other organisations and individuals contributed to the project, providing materials, skills, time, and knowledge.
