The following books have been added to our booklist in August 2025:
Daniell (J.A.): The Making of Clocks and Watches in Leicestershire and Rutland O/P. 36 pages, 8 plates, 1952. This small book is still an excellent source for information about makers in these two counties. This is the reprint, with revisions, of a paper originally published in the Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological Society. A very good copy, now nicely bound in blue cloth. (Ref: K4307 - A2) in stock.
Howse (D.): Greenwich Time and the Longitude O/P. 199 pages, illustrated, 1998. A well written account of the determination of time and of longitude for astronomers, navigators and the British Isles. Later chapters cover the use of Greenwich as prime meridian and its adoption by the world. This is an updated edition of a book with a similar title, first published in 1980. A fine copy with fine dust jacket (faded to spine). (Ref: K4245 - Q2) in stock.
Legg (E.): The Clock & Watchmakers of Buckinghamshire O/P. 39 pages, card covers, 1976. A carefully researched book with a useful list of clock and watch makers. A small booklet but now hard to find. A very good copy, card covers. (Ref: K455 - BX2) in stock.
Moore (A.J.), Rice (R.W.) & Hucker (E.): Bilbie and The Chew Valley Clock Makers O/P. 412 pages, 180 illustrations, 1995. A book predominantly about the Bilbie family who worked in Chew Stoke (Somerset) and Cullompton (Devon), throughout the eighteenth century. The book describes the Bilbie's bell founding as well as clockmaking activities. Many of their clocks are described and illustrated thus showing the chronological progression of dial and case styles. Other clockmakers of the Chew Valley include: The Quarman family of Temple Cloud; The Brock's of Axbridge and the Badman's of Compton Martin. This book has become very hard to find and is always in demand. A good copy, bruised to bottom of spine with 2cm split to cover along hinge line, card covers. (Ref: K1535 - P1) in stock.
