Joel Ettry, Bishops Cannings: An oak longcase clock by John Ettry, Horton, near Devizes. He was born about 1715 and was buried in Bishops Cannings in 1786. The Ettrys were an interesting family of clock makers working in the 18th Century in Bishops Cannings and Horton, near Devizes. Joel was the son of John and he had two brothers, Jacob and John, who were also clockmakers. This clock dates from the later part of the 18th century, c1772 (this date is engraved on the clock movement).The solid and heavy oak case has a flat pediment with a dentil moulding and a blind fretwork panel, integral columns to the hood and a long, narrow trunk door. The 11" wide prettily engraved brass dial is typical of the local dials of this period with both a large calendar and seconds dial. Of thirty hour duration, the movement strikes the hour on a bell. The overall height of this clock is 6'7".
