Clockpelter

As I'm temporarily living at Mum's whilst my kitchen is being fixed, I thought I'd have a little wander around her village. This is the little statue of the "Clockpelter", so called because  local sport (in the days before TV!) was to pick lumps of mud out of the village pond and try to throw them hard enough to stick top the church clock, stopping the hands. It'd need to be quite a throw!
