John Hallifax of Barnsley was a renowned maker of clocks and barometers. He was born in Springthorpe, Lincolnshire in 1694, the son of a vicar, moving to Barnsley in 1711, possibly after the death of his father, where he was established as a clockmaker. He died in 1750 and the regard to which he was held is evident in the inscription on his tombstone which reads `Whose abilities and virtue few in these times have attained. His art and industry were such as his ingenious inventions will be a lasting monument of his merit -- such as recommended him to the favour and esteem of all good men that knew him`. He had two sons, both of whom became clockmakers. * Literature.
