<strong>Joseph</strong> <strong>Smith</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Barthomley</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Chester</strong><br />
This thirty hour longcase clock, made by <strong>Joseph</strong><br />
<strong>Smith</strong> while still living <strong>and</strong> working at <strong>Barthomley</strong>,<br />
is one <strong>of</strong> very few <strong>of</strong> this duration made by this<br />
clockmaker.<br />
It is housed in a country style oak case which may<br />
be <strong>of</strong> earlier manufacture than the clock.<br />
The clock dial <strong>and</strong> mechanism are thought to have<br />
been made around 1720.
