Explanation:
[STC002879] Tick tock, tick tock. Visit the Salisbury Cathedral in England, which is only 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) away from Stonehenge, in order to check the time on the world’s oldest clock that is still in operation. Three horologists, or clockmakers to use a more common name, worked together to construct the hand-wrought iron clock in the year 1386. You are most likely wondering, “Where on earth is the clockface?” The clock was only constructed to chime on the hour and has to have its springs wound up every day in order to function properly, as was customary with the architectural styles of the time. The process of winding the clock became too burdensome in 1884, and by the time it was put away, newer, more user-friendly models had already been developed. The clock was not found again until 1929, and it was repaired in 1956. At Salisbury Cathedral, there is a free demonstration that takes place every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at which visitors can hear the clock chime. The cathedral itself is indeed a sight to behold, and it is home to the tallest spire in all of Britain. The cathedral was constructed in the thirteenth century.
