The clocks 'sprang forward' one hour last night, an idea that can be traced back to William Willett, a Farnham builder born in 1856.

Willett died of influenza in 1915, aged 58, before he could see his idea become law. So, if you normally get up at 8am, it will feel like 7am after the clocks are set to go forward one hour on Sunday, March 26 at 1am. The former Farnham man is also immortalised in pop music.
