He came to prominence when given the contract to build a new clock for the parish church, with various vestry records giving an insight into the procedure. His wife Ann Lawson, from the clockmaking Lawson family, died in June 1821, aged 67, followed by Peter himself in 1826 aged 77. * Note. Reference Arthur J.
