A Joseph Wadham York is recorded in Baillie Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1742-69. His son, Thomas, was apprenticed in 1770 and is probably the same maker who is noted as working from Shoe Lane 1799-1804. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in sound original condition. The escape wheel and pallets are 19th century service replacements; the warning wheel to the strike train has been re-pinioned. The clock will almost certainly run in its present slightly dirty/neglected condition however a gentle clean and service is required. The dial is in good original condition with overall discolouration/tarnishing to the silvering; the engraving to the arch disc is a little rubbed form previous silvering. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests on notched-out cheek uprights of the case - this arrangement appears original hence it is most probable that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in very good original unrestored condition, The upper section of the superstructure has at one point been cut-off (sawn along the lower edge of the fret) but then re-applied; the top finial is missing. The backboard has a butt-joint down the centre which has now become unstuck and there is a vertical section of moulding missing from the plinth fascia (left hand edge). Otherwise faults to the case are limited to historic bumps, scuffs (including a filled scuff to right hand sde), chips, bruises and historic localised shrinkage including the trunk door which has a slight warp.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a winder and a case key.
