Early Clocks
The famous diarist John Aubrey wrote about his visit to Seend in 1666: “I went to the smythe, George Newton, an ingeniose man, who from a blacksmith turned clockmaker to fiddlemaker “ and he assured me that he has melted of this oare in his forge, which the oare of the Forest of Deane &c. will not doe”.
George Newton
At Seend Village,
Became the Blacksmith
