Charles Gretton is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being born circa 1649, he was apprenticed to Humfrey Downing in June 1672 and gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1672. Gretton was first thought to have worked from The Ship in Fleet Street until around 1685 where he is recorded `in Fleet Street over against Sergeants Inn Gate`. He was made Assistant of the Clockmakers` Company in 1689, Warden in 1697 and Master in 1700. He took on many apprentices including Henry Sully (Freed April 1705) and Joseph Antram (Freed October 1706) both of which went on to become famous makers in their own right. In 1701 he put £50 forward to the Clockmakers` Company in order to establish a trust to assist the orphans of deceased members. The life and work of Charles Gretton is currently receiving detailed attention by Dennis Radage and Warner Meinen for a forthcoming publication.
