Description

Please see the two attached letters from S.J Birt & Son to Sir John. They refurbished this Longcase Clock in 1984 and advised Sir John that this is a Regulator Deadbeat Escapement Type Clock (though it does not have maintaining power for when winding the weights up) and in their opinion would have been on display in some public office or other (such as a Stage Coach or Canal Office).
