Clapham BRIGG, the chapter ring having Roman hour and Arabic minute numerals, the central floral engraved field having seconds ring and date crescent, eight day movement striking a bell, 217cm H.George Clapham of Brigg was clockmaker from c.1767 to c1790 and is listed in Lincolnshire Clock, Watch and Barometer makers by Wilbourn & Ellis. He is known to have produced several brass and painted dial clocks, including lunar arch and a three train extant.Brigg Clockmakers 1767-approxmately 1790The dates are working dates, and have appeared in "Watch and Clockmakers of Hull Vol 1 by the late G H Baille and Vol 2 Brian Loomes. The first date is Baille's and the second, Loomes, who includes both dates in his volume.This particular clock which has a brass face has minute numbering in Arabic numerals, minute numbers tended to die out about 1800-1810. Matching 'blued' steel hands dated about 1790. Typical of the period before 1790, the "blued" steel hands did not match. The hands on this Clapham clock are unmatching.Matching brass hands had largely replaced steel ones about 1825-1830, by this time relatively few brass dial clocks were made. I (DR Harry Jackson) have at the time of writing seen two other George Clapham clocks; one of which had a brass dial and was seen in a house in Broughton and the other had a painted dial and was seen in the Brigg R.D.C. Offices - both some years ago.This clock was given to George Jackson who died on 28 May 1951, by Rev. A.W Lagenly, Vicar of Bottesford (included Ashley), 1896-1910. A condition of the gift was that George should keep the clock in the family; accordingly he gave it to me a few years before his death. The clock was overhauled by Mr Roger Tringham of Keadly in April 1978.It continues to keep good time after what is believed to be 200 years. 15 May 1978.
