From London Boaters' Facebook:
"Clitheroe Lock: Owner told me his tiller disconnected so he went in to the lock (locking up) so he could see it better through the weed hatch without so much mud, leaky gates filling the lock so he opened bottom paddles, looking in through weed hatch he didn't realize boat had drifted forward n bow now sat on cill as it dropped... Oops. Something still not quite right though, maybe he was attempting to stand in an emptied lock trying to reattach tiller to the skeg."

Just a quick update.
Beginning of July CRT are draining the pound for a lazer survey of the lock walls.
There are rumours of an impending court case from the incident but I have nothing more than that

Maybe crt are planing on craning every boat that can't get through it.

To be fair I've not heard about any other boats getting stuck
