Thomas Hampson of Wrexham c.1740
This is a nicely proportioned early 18 the century 30-hour brass-faced oak clock by a top Welsh clock maker.
The brass face has a working date calendar, and has Roman and Arabic numerals.
The hood has a break arch with central finial, and is supported on wooden pillars.
The movement is clean and in good working order, and keeps good time. It rings to a bell on the hour.
The trunk is slender and quite plain. The full-length door has a brass escutcheon and working lock and key.

“The Hampsons worked in Wrexham between 1719 and 1780.
Hampson clocks were particularly well made and the family is considered to be amongst the elite of Welsh clock makers.
In 1728, Thomas Hampson moved into the High Street of Wrexham where he worked in a building known as “The Clock”. By 1748 he had moved to Charles Street.”
