Provenance: George Fludyer, (d.1837) and by descent through the Fludyer Family, finally to Sir Arthur John Fludyer, 5th and last baronet, who died childless in 1922. Then to his sister Katherine who married Henry Randolph Finch of the Croft, Manton, second son of George Finch Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland and by descent.

A paper transcript of repairer's marks is included with the clock with the first entry being for Tupman 1826. In addition to this there is also the following note which provides clear confimation of the above provenance: This dial was broken by F. Langley Butler to Sir A. Fludyer (!). Several makers with the surname Edwards are recorded working in London during the first half of the 19th century including a handful with the forename James (noted in Baillie, G. H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World) as active around 1820 in areas around Shoreditch including Limehouse, Cheapside and Whitechapel. Condition report disclaimer
