This abridged extract is taken from his obituary, which was published in the 2019/2020 edition of The Framlinghamian: John Simpson joined the Royal Navy in 1936 as a Cadet-under-training in the cruiser HMS FROBISHER. He passed out third on the list of Paymaster Cadets and joined HMS SUSSEX as Paymaster Midshipman in the Mediterranean Fleet. During this time, in 1937, he saw action in charge of an armed Naval Patrol, manning a roadblock outside Haifa in Israel during the period of Palestinian/Jewish unrest that followed Partition in that year. During the war he served ashore and at sea, in Scotland, in the Northern Approaches and at Lee-on-Solent, Portsmouth. After the war, in 1946, while serving as Supply Officer Lieutenant in HMS AJAX, the ship returned to Montevideo in Uruguay, the scene of her earlier involvement in the Battle of the River Plate in 1939. This voyage was undertaken to repatriate German Naval prisoners-of-war who had been incarcerated in neutral Uruguay throughout the War following the scuttling of the German battle cruiser, the Admiral Graf Spee. John often recalled the extraordinarily warm Civic Welcome that the ship’s company received from the Deputy President of Uruguay in a formal ceremony, just before HMS AJAX’s return voyage to Kiel in the Baltic. Following a Staff Course in the UK, John was based in Malta from 1948-50, returning to a further shore training post in Wetherby before being appointed Secretary to Rear Admiral John Cuthbert, who was Deputy Controller of the Navy at the time, and under whose command John had served in HMS AJAX. John was paid a considerable compliment (in Service terms) by Rear Admiral Cuthbert, who requested that John should continue as his Secretary for the Admiral’s next three appointments, the final one being Flag Officer, Scotland and Northern Ireland, from 1956-58, after which Vice Admiral Sir John Cuthbert retired. John was promoted to Commander in 1955. Three years later, the family moved back to Suffolk and John returned to sea as Supply Officer in the light cruiser HMS BERMUDA, once again in the Mediterranean, before taking up his final Service appointment in 1960 as a Staff Training Officer at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich. He retired from the Royal Navy in 1962

Andrew Broun [or Brown] (circa 1651-1712) was apprenticed to Humphrey Milne on 2nd February 1665. His apprenticeship was recorded thus "The second day of February 1665. The quilk day, Andro Broun, sone lawfull to umquihil Jon Broun, in Lang Newtone, is booked prentice to Umpra Milne, clock maker." Ten years later he officially ended his apprenticeship after demonstrating his skill to a committee of clockmakers and became a freeman of the Hammermen's Incorporation. He then took on several apprentices and journeymen himself throughout his career. He became Captain of the City Guard in 1685 and Master of the Hammermen's Incorporation in 1689.In 1689 and 1690 he was elected boxmaster [treasurer] of the Hammermen's Incorporation and in 1696 he became a Guild brother of Edinburgh. Although recorded as a highly capable maker, he apparently died penniless, with his son applying to the Incorporation for financial assistance on his father's death.John Smith, author of Old Scottish Clockmakers from 1453 to1850, states "In view of the long time he was in business, - thirty-five years - it is remarkable how exceedingly scarce are specimens of his art, only three have come under our notice: one being the splendid clock in the lobby of the advocates library, another that was exposed for sale in the window of a dealer in Queen Street Edinburgh, both these two having cases of beautiful and chaste marquetry; and the third one in possession of a private party in Linlithgow".

It is highly likely that authorship can be attributed to the father: it may, however, be by his first-born of the same Christian name, or possibly even by them both! Thomas Archer (b. 1641), a blacksmith and gunsmith, (sometimes written Archar or Archard) lived in Moreton-in-the-Marsh. He died in 1721. His eldest child was also Thomas (b. 1670) and followed his father in the blacksmith and gunsmith trade at Moreton. In the father’s Will of October 1720 (Thomas Snr.) he leaves his tools to be shared between his two sons, Walter (b. 1674 - d. 1742) and Charles (b. 1676). The implication of this is that Thomas (Jnr.) had predeceased his father by this date. Walter and Charles are known to have moved from Moreton in the last years of the 17th Century and worked as partners in Stow-on-the-Wold. A good deal has been written about the Archers by Loomes and Smith.
