My notes on the Corpus Clock:

If you are in Cambridge, listen out for the chimes from Great St Mary's
church next to the market square - the GSM chimes were copied for the
palace of Westminster's clock tower.

Also listen out for Trinity's clock which strikes the hour twice, and
which has a very informative web site: http://trin-hosts.trin.cam.ac.uk/clock/
Trinity's clock is based on the design of the palace of Westminster's
clock.

Frank King has information about some notable sundials:

The Royal Greenwich Observatory was housed next to Cambridge University's
Institute of Astronomy for several years before it was finally shut down.
I don't know of any notable timekeeping activities, though.

Tony.
