Wetherfield Collection. William Clay is recorded in Britten, F J “Old Clocks & Watches and Their Makers” as working 1645-80. The dial is illustrated in figure 634 with an explanation of how the hours and minutes are denoted. Britten also cites that a watch by him was given by Cromwell to Col. Bagwell at the siege of Clonmel. Baillie records his dates as 1652-80 and adds that there is a watch by him in the Taunton Museum. The style of the engraving in the spandrels is reminiscent of some of the early longcase clock dials by Edward East, whilst the half hour markers and the rosette engraved centre are more typical of second period lantern clock work, suggesting a date of around 1665.
