AN ENGLISH OAK THIRTY HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK, JOHN WYLD, NOTTINGHAM, MID 18TH C with typical chain driven movement and signed brass dial, the oak case with flat topped hood, 193cm h

John Wyld was born in 1709 and worked first for his uncle the locally renowned clockmaker James Woolley of Codnor, Derbyshire (c1700-c1780). Wyld worked independently from 1732, first at Codnor before moving to Chapel Bar, Nottingham in 1745. The case of the present clock is similar to a number of other known examples and it would appear that both Wyld and Woolley obtained their cases from the same maker. Wyld's son, John Wyld II, continued the business until c1770. The present clock is characteristic of a number of other locally made longcase movements of the period with features such as the arch cut-out backplate.
