I was digging around on the internet and found a church in West Sussex that has a clock that is probably from the same maker as mine. It can be seen at

On the web page, it states that the clock is from about 1660 because of the presence of a pendulum. However, the clock was almost certainly from the same maker as the clock that I am using as a model. Chances are the pendulum was a modification to the original clock. It was very common that medieval clocks with a verge and foliot escapement (the actual time keeping part of the clock) were later modified to have a pendulum. The clock in the church probably dates from about 1600.
Anyway, I sent a note to the church to see if I can get any more photos from them.
