John Drew was apprenticed to the eminent clockmaker Joseph Knibb of London in September 1676 and was freed in September 1684 when his address is recorded as Johnson Court in Fleet Street. He was appointed to the position of Beadle in the Clockmakers' Company in April 1712 with a duty to keep order during meetings. The position of beadle was often given to members in poor health or in some financial difficulty being a paid position. John Drew received charitable payments from the Clockmakers' Company from January 1713 until he died in the autumn of that year, just two years after Joseph Knibb.Ref. Brian Loomes Clocks Magazine.

A North Devon pottery documentary harvest jug: of typical bellied form with raised neck and ribbed strap handle with scroll terminal sgraffito and slipware decorated with the horse drawn Durrant Common Stage Waggon (sic) approaching the Rising Sun Inn followed by the wagoner with a speech bubble 'Away me Lads' all above the inscription to Edmund Davey Sept. 22 1816', beneath the handle a heart shaped panel captioned 'Fill mee full of liquor sweet for that his good when friends do meet when friends do meet and liquor plenty fill me again when I be empty', the neck bordered with leaves, 24cm high, [stapled crack and some glaze loss].* Note. A stage wagon was a form of public transport used when either demand or the poor state of the roads did not merit the expense of a stage coach. A 17 year old Edmund Davey is listed in 1803 as being eligible for Militia service. It is not inconceivable that as a wagoner he undertook the regular journey from Exeter to North Devon stopping at the village of Umberleigh where the Rising Sun still exists.

A copy of the Alfred Jewel unmarked, modern, gilt metal and coloured panel with gilding under glazed cover (Dimensions: Overall length: 60mm)(Overall length: 60mm)Footnote: The original jewel is formed of a rock crystal tear drop and micro mosaic miniature also has the inscription AELFRED MEC HEHT GEWYRCAN translated as 'Alfred ordered me to be made’. Alfred refers to the King of Wessex from 871-899, he is most famous for unifying the South of England in the 9th century and fending off Viking invasions. Around 880 a peace treaty was agreed with Guthrum, leader of Danes who had settled in East Anglia. Alfred is also renowned for the revival of Old English and it is for this reason that the jewel is believed to have been a pointer to help read books. However there are several other theories, in order to keep the mystery of the Middle Ages alive, including older sources which suggest it was designed as decoration for a staff for battle. The jewel was discovered in 1693 by Sir Thomas Wroth on his Petherton Park estate in an area known as Parker's Field. Petherton Park was the stronghold in the marshes from which Alfred launched his counter-attack on the Great Army of the Vikings. This ultimately led to his crucial military victory at Edington in 878 and the expansion of his authority across the southern half of England. Latterly a monastery was founded on the site, Athelney Abbey, which would help the literary argument as to the purpose of the jewel and perhaps the argument that it was made slightly later. When the jewel passed to Colonel Nathaniel Palmer of Stogursey, he bequeathed it to the Bodleian library and subsequently became part of the Ashmolean Museums collection, where it can be found today.Condition report: `
