each time a royal parsonage within its

AT any rate. the clock has an inter
esting history quite aside from this. 1t
was the first astronomical timepiece
made in England. being constructed in
1910 for Henry VIII. Thirty-two years
ago it was brought out of a shed where
in it had lain neglected for nearly half
a century. and by order Of the then
secretary of the office Of works it was
regretted in the courtyard opposite the
entrance to the state apartments.
There is historical evidence to the eff
feet that it was built by one Nicholas
Crater. a German astronomer who
came TO England at the invitation of
Cardinal Wolsey.
This old timepiece tells the hour. the
month. the day of the month. the po-
sition OF the sun and the number of
days since the beginning OF the year
