NB: John Walker worked in the Close until 1795 and then in the head of the Long Stairs. He made a new clock for the cathedral in 1761. Several clocks by him are recorded, some with unusual features. The dial was probably engraved in the Beilby/Bewick workshop in Newcastle. This clock has not been in use for many years and any potential purchaser must fully satisfy themselves, whether or not the clock is in working condition Some postwar clockmakers notes indicate the following, This important clock possesses a number of unusual features. It has two sets of numerals, so that the hour hand goes round once in 24 hours, with noon at the top and midnight at the bottom. The minute hand goes round once in two hours. There is no seconds hand. The clock strikes 1-12 twice per day. There is an extra hand, fitted behind the hour and minute hands: this rotates rotates once per year, giving every day and month ( though the hand must be advanced manually in leap years ) An additional band of engraving with a succession of numbers and legends:-'Clock faster' or 'Clock slower' refer to the 'Equation of time', or the difference through the year between mean time, shown by an accurate clock, and Solar time, as shown by a sundial and then add or subtract the number of minutes shown for the date. This would be the only recourse if the clock stopped, in the days before railways and radios. In the arch at the top is the phase of the moon disc, which gives a lunar month of 29 1/2 days, accurate enough for most purposes. There are two steel hands: the longer one indicates the age of the moon from the new in days. The shorter hands point to the ring of roman numerals which show the hands of high tide. This clock would probably show tides at the Quayside in Newcastle. There are two large brass cased driving weights which weigh approximately 30kg each. They are hung on strong steel cables, and are wound up once a year. The heavy pendulum, which swings behind the weights, is interesting in that it swings in 1 1/4 seconds rather than in 1 second as usually found in longcase clocks. It is about 1.55metres long, with a lead and brass bob, with a wooden shaft, which is less sensitive to temperature changes than one made of iron. The previous owners did not have the clock working See illustration
