St Nicholas’ Church, Burton, Wirral, 1751 A similar clock to that at Tilston, but driving only one hand on its single dial, was made for St Nicholas’ Church, Burton, Wirral a year later. The style of the hand is very similar to that on the Stoak clock made almost twenty years earlier. Its movement is laid out in the familiar Smith style. This clock also bears a circular plaque, this time recording: ‘JOHN COOPER SAM L LITTLER CH;WARDENS 1751 JOSEPH SMITH CHESTER FECIT’. The engraving of this plaque is very similar to that on the Tilston clock.
St Mary’s Church, Mucclestone, Staffs. The clock in St Mary’s Church, Mucklestone closely resembles others by <strong>Joseph</strong> Smith. It is much altered, now having a pinwheel deadbeat escapement and a long pendulum. The latter is offset in the Smith manner, and passes through the floor to the storey below. The clock is now auto-wound. Written records of the clock have not been traced.
