Chapter XIII: Part 13

At the time Barnard and his contemporaries were flourishing at Newark, there was at Sutton in Ashfield a family named Boot, who made clocks in many respects similar to those of Barnard. The first of the name, John Boot, had his own peculiar fancy as to dials. Many of his one-day clocks had, like Barnard’s, only one hand--a cheap economy. There was a round number and name-plate under the hour of 12, and drilled through the dial, in line with the centre hole, were two holes nicely decorated with turned rings, while the rest of the centre of the dial was chased with wild roses--a very effective and distinctive treatment. This particular dial was peculiar to him, I believe, though he made other varieties, such as eight-day clocks similar to those of Marshall and Barnard at Newark. Next comes John Boot, junior, who adhered to the square dial-plates, and to many of the family peculiarities. He was followed by John and William Boot, whose work was done about the year 1780. About the same time we have a flat engraved dial with arched top, centre seconds hand, and calendar work similar to that (Plate 3) illustrating Bettison’s work, inscribed with the name, Elizabeth Boot. I have, however, seen very few with the lady’s name on them. The very fact of their being a clockmaking family is a rare occurrence, and can only be paralleled in Newark in later years by the Westons.

At this period we find several makers of note in Nottingham, of whom the earliest seems to be John Wyld. Mansfield, too, had a Glazebrook, whose work was of the same style; but with the makers of these towns I am not very familiar, and must leave them to more competent treatment.

Another interesting phase of the subject now invites attention. Plate 4 shows a very marked and artistic piece of work by Humphry Wainwright of Bunny. The clock plays a tune every three hours, and on the arch of the dial is depicted a music school of a primitive kind, with the closed music scroll lying on the table, the fiddlers large and and small, the horns and clarinets, the spinnet and the conductor, all make up a very droll picture. This clock, the property of E. F. Milthorp, Esq., has a 14-inch square dial, and a beautifully designed mahogany case, a vivid contrast to some of the cruder bits of work, such as that shown in Plate 4. Wainwright seems to have devoted some attention to church clocks, and one of his make can still be seen in the neighbourhood. One Wainwright is found working at Nottingham in 1797, and this may be Humphry, or perhaps John.

CLOCKS BY

HUMPHREY WAINWRIGHT OF BUNNY. WILL. FOSTER OF MARNHAM.]

We must now just pause to note what may fairly be called some oddments of the clock trade. Single specimens of brass dials by local makers are found, such as that with the name, “F. Witton, Norwell,” or one bearing an old Newark name, Samuel Callis, or the one illustrated (Plate 4) by Will. Foster of Marnham. These must all be regarded with doubt and reserve, from the fact that they are isolated specimens. Many clocks were made by amateurs, and perhaps these may be thus accounted for; or perhaps they were made to order by clockmakers, and the purchaser’s name put on the dial. That there were makers in these villages who made clocks for trade purposes, we have seen at Bunny and Sutton in Ashfield. The specimen by Will. Foster of Marnham was probably the work of an amateur, for its dial cutting is unequally divided and poorly cut, the open work of its hands is of poor design, the wheel work is very crude, and the teeth slots are of various depths, the teeth points are variously shaped; in fact, the whole is suggestive more of the file than of the turner’s cutting tools. The case, too, is most primitive, with its long narrow door all painted and grained; yet, notwithstanding all its deficiencies, it is still ticking away and marking the hours. The clocks by Callis and Francis Witton are both creditable examples of work and denote professional skill.

A very unusual clock, by William Simpson of Southwell, is now at Brackenhurst Hall. It has a fine mahogany case, silvered dial, and quarter-chime movement. Simpson was an ingenious mechanic, who has left behind him, among other things, a curious thirty-hour “virgule” escapement. He, like Wainwright and the Burrells, who are mentioned later, was concerned with the manufacture of turret clocks. He seems to have been in business at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

We have now come to a parting of the ways. Brass dials give place to painted ones, and the clockmaker becomes subservient to the cabinetmaker. Birmingham dial makers are more and more employed, with the result that we see quite a number of similar dials. We must say farewell to the plain oak cases, with their long doors; and view the more recent plain oak cases with mahogany pillars, the mahogany cases, with flat, silvered dials, such as Unwin and Holt in particular made, the oak cases polished to a lighter colour, with mahogany facings, and the mahogany scroll top cases with satin-wood decorations.

Unwin is the first of the new school which was to rule for the next fifty years, and make brass dials a thing of the past. After Holt joined him (as Unwin & Holt), we never find another of his clocks with a brass dial, and this partnership in 1805 sees the last of the old style.

The competition for the premier place lay between Richard Herring, William Weston, and Richard Holt, and it was to the latter that the honour fell. Weston was in business in 1790 and 1825, and all his clocks had the painted dials. Both he and Herring were subscribers to the 1791 lamp fund for lighting the streets of Newark, and in 1804 both were volunteers. Weston was succeeded by his son James, of whom we have evidence in 1839, and then the names of James and John appear on the dials, and finally the general description, “Westons Newark.”

Holt applied his skill and energy to the business, which, after Unwin’s retirement, became very large. His name occurs on some gold and silver watches, which there is every reason to believe were made either in London or Birmingham. It is also to be found on the dials of bronzed brass bracket clocks, which may or may not be his own work, but there is no doubt about the maker of his clocks of the “Grandfather” type. Some good bracket clocks in mahogany cases also bear his name, and it was through him and his contemporaries that these were brought to the notice of local buyers. To this list may be added the short fall and spring dial and drop dial clocks, though these latter were soon being imported from Birmingham.

He continued in business until 1845, but though many of his clocks have pretty mahogany cases and interesting dials, they no longer concern us, since these had become ready made. Though he taught his sons the trade, they did not succeed, though one, Richard, started in opposition to his father, but the name died out. Holt’s contemporary was Henry Goodwin, who was in every way his equal. Other rivals were William Weaver, Richard Hardy, Hardy and Son, George Ganter, and John and James Priest. William Weaver was very fond of a style of dial representing a ship in full sail on a painted ocean, the vessel rising and falling with the swinging of the pendulum. Ganter came to Newark as a Dutch clock pedlar, and settled there. James Priest made clocks in the old style, and saw the art die out as a local industry. At his death, in 1889, he left a cellar full of his earlier efforts, together with one or two finished items, which must have been standing in the shop for fully forty years.

About 1840 a lamentable, though not unexpected, event happened. The cabinetmakers in Newark became tired of making cases for the clockmaker, and the practice began of the clockmaker making movements for their cases, and though in itself a regrettable feature, the result has left us some really beautiful cases of this period, notably by Cawthorn, Dalman, and Barber. The man who seems to have made movements for them was John Baker (who worked at one time for Holt), who cut his name and a number on the plate at the back of the dial. In contradistinction to this procedure, we have to note R. Wade, of Staythorpe, a village four miles from Newark, who combined the two operations. A clock-case maker by trade, he went to London to work in the piano-case trade and clock-case making, and there he conceived a fancy for the mechanical side of clock making.[90] After some years he returned to Staythorpe, and set up as a maker of both clock and case. His work was of a very creditable character, and quite a number of his clocks are in good working order in the neighbourhood. He was an eccentric character, and left his mark in many little details about the premises which he occupied at Staythorpe until his death.

No account of the local village clockmakers would be complete without some mention of the Burrells of Collingham, a family who worked there till about 1860 and then migrated to Sheffield, where they became firmly established. However, the attraction of the mechanical side of the trade was too strong for the mercantile side, and they embarked on a system of time synchronisation which brought them ill fortune. Their initials are stamped upon an old clock, probably made about 1800, at Sutton-on-Trent church, showing that they did large as well as small work.

Andrew Esdaile of Bingham is another notable character of the period 1830–1850. Though his clocks are not plentiful, the stories of him and of his poetic inclinations are numerous. From the fact that he eventually turned author, we may perhaps conclude that he paid more attention to literature than to horology.

I have kept a careful watch for any effect Pitt’s Act of Parliament may have had on our local industry, but I have not been able to trace any at all, for our local products seem to be the same at that time (1797–98) as before and after, and no Act of Parliament clock of local origin has ever been under my notice, so we may conclude that the scare which shook the trade was not felt here very severely. I have also never seen a lacquered case with local works inside it, and, no doubt, the choicer kinds of cases were not made by our local artists. When we come to think that nearly all our early marquetry was done by the Dutch inlay workers who followed William III. to England, and that probably the lacquer decorated cases became, after a very few years, their work also, we are compelled to conclude that these arts were not general in the provinces, so that we must not expect to see them applied in the case of the Newark clocks, much less in that of the rural specimens, though there are some fine mahogany cases which are exceptions to this.

The list of Newark makers that follows shows the division of--(1) those who made brass dials only; (2) those who made both brass and painted dials; and (3) those who made clocks with painted dials only.

This delegation of the brass dials to a secondary position must be attributed to their cost when compared with that of the painted dials. The makers of this last popular style also made the shortfall and mantle clocks.

In the last period the cases were doubtless made by Cawthorn, or Dalman, or Fletcher, or Parlby, but in the earlier ones the case makers are quite as unknown as the clock work would be were it not for the names inscribed and the incentive thus given to learn more about them. The later makers are identified by such details as the dates on watch-case papers (some of them worth illustrating), by the hall-markings of the cases of their watches, by scraps in the form of receipts for work done, and by leaves from tradesmen’s old ledgers; but for our knowledge of the earlier makers we have to go further afield, and help in this direction is gratefully acknowledged.

The date of a clock may be gauged fairly accurately by noting first the plainness of outline of the cases and the length of the door, which in early times was very pronounced. There was usually a bottle glass panel in the door. In a few years plainness gave way to cross-banded ornament, and this in its turn to veneering with mahogany, or, in the better cases, to mahogany with veneered facings. These styles were ousted by the ornate cases in light oak, with very short doors and mahogany decorations in veneer and line inlay. As a general rule, however, the earlier the work the better it is, both as to case and clock, especially the latter.

My own connection with the clockmakers of Newark has only been of a secondary character, although I have spent many happy days among their work. Yet I remember that I am the last apprentice of the late John Harvey (who died in 1886), who was himself the last apprentice of Thomas Hardy, the survivor of Hardy & Son, who are mentioned above.

MEMORIALS OF THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND

GENERAL EDITOR

REV. P. H. DITCHFIELD
M.A., F.S.A., F.R.S.L., F.R.HIST.S.

_Beautifully Illustrated. Demy 8vo, cloth extra, gilt top.
Price 15s. net each._

=Memorials of Old Oxfordshire.=

Edited by the Rev. P. H. DITCHFIELD, M.A., F.S.A.
Dedicated to the Right Hon. the Earl of Jersey, G.C.B., G.C.M.G.

“This beautiful book contains an exhaustive history of ‘the
wondrous Oxford,’ to which so many distinguished scholars and
politicians look back with affection. We must refer the reader
to the volume itself ... and only wish that we had space to
quote extracts from its interesting pages.”--_Spectator._

=Memorials of Old Devonshire.=

Edited by F. J. SNELL, M.A. Dedicated to the Right Hon.
Viscount Ebrington.

“A fascinating volume, which will be prized by thoughtful
Devonians wherever they may be found ... richly illustrated,
some rare engravings being represented.”--_North Devon
Journal._

=Memorials of Old Herefordshire.=

Edited by the Rev. COMPTON READE, M.A. Dedicated to Sir
John G. Cotterell, Bart.

“Another of these interesting volumes like the ‘Memorials of
Old Devonshire,’ which we noted a week or two ago, containing
miscellaneous papers on the history, topography, and families
of the county by competent writers, with photographs and other
illustrations.”--_Times._

=Memorials of Old Hertfordshire.=

Edited by PERCY CROSS STANDING. Dedicated to the Right
Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, G.C.B.

“The book, which contains some magnificent illustrations,
will be warmly welcomed by all lovers of our county and its
entertaining history.”--_West Herts and Watford Observer._

=Memorials of Old Hampshire.=

Edited by the Rev. G. E. JEANS, M.A., F.S.A. Dedicated
to His Grace the Duke of Wellington, K.G.

“‘Memorials of the Counties of England’ is worthily carried on
in this interesting and readable volume.”--_Scotsman._

=Memorials of Old Somerset.=

Edited by F. J. SNELL, M.A. Dedicated to the Most Hon.
the Marquis of Bath.

“In these pages, as in a mirror, the whole life of the
county, legendary, romantic, historical, comes into view,
for in truth the book is written with a happy union of
knowledge and enthusiasm--a fine bit of glowing mosaic put
together by fifteen writers into a realistic picture of the
county.”--_Standard._

=Memorials of Old Wiltshire.=

Edited by ALICE DRYDEN.

“The admirable series of County Memorials ... will, it is safe
to say, include no volume of greater interest than that devoted
to Wiltshire.”--_Daily Telegraph._

“Quite the best volume which has appeared so far in
a series that has throughout maintained a very high

Edited by the Rev. P. H. DITCHFIELD, M.A., F.S.A., and
GEORGE CLINCH, F.G.S. Dedicated to the Right Hon. Lord
Northbourne, F.S.A.

“A very delightful addition to a delightful series. Kent, rich
in honour and tradition as in beauty, is a fruitful subject
of which the various contributors have taken full advantage,
archæology, topography, and gossip being pleasantly combined to
produce a volume both attractive and valuable.”--_Standard._

=Memorials of Old Derbyshire.=

Edited by the Rev. J. CHARLES COX, LL.D., F.S.A.
Dedicated to His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, K.G.

HERBERT PENTIN, M.A. Dedicated to the Right Hon. Lord
Eustace Cecil, F.R.G.S.

“The volume, in fine, forms a noteworthy accession to the
valuable series of books in which it appears.”--_Scotsman._

=Memorials of Old Warwickshire.=

Edited by ALICE DRYDEN.

“Worthy of an honoured place on our shelves. It is also one of
the best, if not the best volume in a series of exceptional
interest and usefulness.”--_Birmingham Gazette._

=Memorials of Old Norfolk.=

Edited by the Rev. H. J. DUKINFIELD ASTLEY, M.A.,
Litt.D., F.R.Hist.S. Dedicated to the Right Hon. Viscount Coke,
