One significant donation was a granddaughter clock, given to the installation by a visitor, John whose father was given the 4ft treasure for his 21st birthday in 1935...and it still works!
The ticking tour
Harrison’s Garden is part of Trust New Art, the National Trust’s contemporary arts programme which invites visitors to experience our places from a different perspective. After it leaves Nostell on Sunday 9 July, Harrison’s Garden will then appear at Castle Drogo in Devon, Gunby Hall in Lincolnshire and Penrhyn Castle in Wales, with each place adding 500 more clocks to the total.
