An Audlem Clock

We are indebted to Jon Shaw of "somewhere in Gloucestershire" for this piece.

This listing has nothing to do with me, we are Gloucestershire folk and I only came across it as our daughter is furnishing an old house in North Staffordshire.

She was keeping an eye out for things with a local provenance to the area they are in – this isn't quite close enough.

But I thought someone up there in Audlem ought to bring it home.

John Ryland Blakeman- clockmaker of Audlem. I also see that in 1878 he was also some form of local clerk but that would seem a little too early for a Parish Council, so perhaps a PCC.

Stay safe

Jon

Thank you Jon

This would surely be an ideal accoutrement for our Parish Council to purchase and hang on its wall – although a drawback might be that possibly it doesn't do British Summer Time.
