An extraordinary eight-day longcase clock made in the 1740s by the well-known clockmaker, Richard Bullock of Ellesmere, Shropshire, numbered on the dial 161, having a previously-unrecorded type of rack repeat striking system of his own invention, triggered by means of a sprung lever at the rear designed for left-handed or right-handed pull repeating. The original ELM case is in a primitive, Welsh-borders style, a scarce survivor, of superb colour and patination and still has the original wooden cord-pulley on the hood side for repeat triggering - very few clocks survive today with such a pulley system and very few elm clocks survive at all. One of the most interesting clocks we have ever had, this clock remains unchanged since it was made, shortly after the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie at the Battle of Culloden. Pictured after restoration. See article.
