Note: William Raynes was apprenticed in London to William Almond in 1653 and completed his indenture in 1661. He went on to set up his own workshop in Butchers Row, East Smithfield, London. In 1672 he ceased to be listed as a London clockmaker and set up business in York. It is recorded that by 1679 he had established a successful and thriving business, where this clock would have been made. This clock was presumably a commission from The Worshipful Company of Master Joiners and Ceilers. William Raynes died in 1695 after a fall from his horse. Provenance: for many years this clock has been in the private collection of Mr Ronald A. Lee and thence by direct descent. Ronald Lee (1913-2000) was the most prominent fine quality clock dealer of the 20th century with premises in Bruton Place, London. He was a leading authority on English clocks and wrote numerous publications, including the definitive account of the Knibb family and their clocks, 'The Knibb Family & Clockmakers', in 1964 and 'The First Twelve Years of the English Pendulum Clock' in 1969.
