It belonged to Herall, Joelle's father, who would play with his grandchildren spinning them around in it. When Herall passed away the chair was one of the few things they retained as it was central to the family evoking precious memories of happier times together. Sadly, the chair was broken while the children were playing on it. The back has completely collapsed, and the cover is torn so Sonnaz steps up to the plate to bring it back to a functioning piece of furniture of which the family can be proud. Next, sister and brother Dorcas and Stephen have brought a precious clock for the attention of the barn's horologist, Steve Fletcher. The clock belonged to the siblings' parents, Hermann and Keturah and was one of the first items they saved up to buy after arriving in the UK from Antigua. The plan was to stay for five years and return home however the couple soon put down roots and ended up remaining in the UK for the rest of their lives. The pair worked hard and went from living in a single bedroom in a shared house to eventually owning their own home in Birmingham. The chiming clock took pride of place in their front room and served as a status symbol of the fact they had 'arrived' and established themselves. Now the siblings would love to hear the broken chime ringing again, to remind them of their parents' tenacity and what they did to not only help rebuild the UK but also to build a new life for subsequent generations of their own family. The barn's final visitors are another father and daughter duo Richard and Nicky who have brought a diamond ring with an extraordinarily precious central piece. The broken ring became squashed and fractured when Nicky got her hand stuck while moving a table. Luckily the inner resin, containing the ashes of Nicky's late mother Julie, remained intact but fixing it for Nicky is a hugely daunting job for master goldsmith Richard Talman who needs to restore the ring without damaging the inner resin.
