John Sherlock very kindly sent in this photo of his regulator clock made by Edward Funnell. It has a mercury pendulum.

John Sherlock – Thanks for finding and showing this picture. We are slowly getting a nice collection of photos of Edward’s work . I will pass this onto my friend who is an Antique clock repairer and is very interested in his work.
Thanks to you too Andy.

I believe one of his clocks is also at the British Museum. I would love to learn more about him. Henry GRANT (1812 Brightling-1893 Warbleton), son of Henry GRANT and Sarah FUNNELL (1782 Brightling-1855 Mountfield, possibly the daughter of John and Ann nee HILDER) was a Watch and Clock maker in Brightling and Warbleton. His brother Richard was apprenticed to him as were three nephews, sons of his brother John. His sons also went into the family business. I have always wondered how he, from a small Village like Brightling, came to be a Clock maker! Could there be a connection? It is on my to do list but any help would be appreciated.
There is a photo of the clock in the British Museum here and more on Edward Funnell here.
