Lantern clock of about 1695 made by Joseph Norris of Abingdon, Berkshire, (born 1650, died 1727), converted in the late 19th century to a double fusee chain drive movement. He was a prestigious maker who, after training in London, spent most of his working life in Holland, where he is believed to have been one of the first to introduce the longcase clock. He returned to his home town about 1692. Only a handful of lantern clocks are known by him, and this is one of only four known to be signed at Abingdon. Pictured after restoration.
