About the building

It seems likely that this property was rebuilt after 1815, as there is no possibility that it fronted onto Back Lane. It is supposed that it was rebuilt in 1833 after Miss Jones’ death. The 30 hour clock was wound from inside the bedroom, its tick made sleep difficult. The clock has the name ROWE inscribed on it. F R Rowe & Sons were watch, clock makers & jewellers here in 1967 – 1975 (at least). 1978 – 1993: John Kyffin, jeweller
