Notes: Working in a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan, Henry Williams (1727-1790) is now recognised as one of the very best clockmakers who ever worked in Wales. His clocks bear comparison with those of any provincial clockmaker working anywhere in England in the second half of the eighteenth century. Copiously illustrated technical details are given of 34 clocks made by him: one bracket clock, one month-going longcase, five thirty-hour longcases, and 27 8-day longcases. Arch features include moon and tidal indication, day-of-week disc, strike/silent, and eagle and Tempus Fugit. Apendix: Illustrated list in color, of 35 recorded clocks, 29 additional illustrations
