Haley, Norwich

Brian Kerridge

30-hour single-handed longcase clock by Thomas Haley, Norwich, c 1750 Thomas Haley, or Halley, worked in North Walsham (to 1743), Norwich, Dove Lane (1743 to 1753), and also in London (from 1753). This single-handed clock has a birdcage-style movement. The case and pendulum have parted company with the movement, but these can be remade as part of the restoration. Apprentice records show that John Halley became apprenticed to Thomas, his Father, on 29 Sep    1751.
