Testimonials
Sharon and Chris from Lincolnshire chose a 'Summerhayes of Taunton' longcase clock from our available selection which we then able to restore to the customers particular requirements.
"We were looking for a Grandfather Clock made in the mid 1700's by Robert Summerhayes who is distant relative of our son in law. We found not one, but three at Priory Clocks. The clock we chose was in amazing condition and working order. Its timing to perfection. We are so pleased with our purchase, and would defnately recommend anyone looking to purchase. It was a pleasure working with Chris for the restoration of the face, showing us how to handle the workings of the clock the and the wonderful advise on the complication of bringing it back to Lincolnshire in our vehicle. The clock is now in its new home, and we are delighted with it."

David from Grimsby in Lincolnshire bought a Georgian longcase clock by Edward Ward which had been made in that town. Although the clock needed restoration, we worked with him in providing parts to get it running prior to delivery
"Chris has been amazing since the initial purchase of my clock. He responded quickly to enquiries before and after the sale and went above and beyond what was expected to support me in getting the clock some distance from Taunton and back home to North East Lincolnshire. Chris offered his time and advice on the clock following the sale and was able to supply appropriate parts to allow me to begin a renovation of the clock, even getting it working himself in the process! Chris expertly packaged the movement and hood for me in Taunton, allowing for a safe journey with the couriers. The distance prevented Chris from attending to set up the clock after the sale, as he explained he usually likes to do, although he was good enough to leave good instructions and advice on how this should be done and even to offer his time on the telephone over the weekend to support me if needed. Documents, including the known provenance and previous auction documents were also given and the overall impression of Chris was as an honest and good person that that wished to use his experience to support me in the best way that he could. I'm so thankful that I found the clock and Chris!
Thank you very much again."

Honiton brass dial longcase clock
“Having searched for an antique clock for several years, I found a beautiful long case, assisted by Chris, of Priory Clocks. The communication and professional service provided has been commendable. Chris has a thorough working knowledge of his entire range of clocks and each is individually and carefully restored to an exemplary standard through skilled craftsmanship. My clock brings my home alive and it’s slender style looks wonderful in my small hallway. I will consult Chris again regarding similar future purchases. His honesty and reliability make him a pleasure to conduct business with.”

"We are thrilled with the purchase of our Longcase clock from Priory Clocks. We contacted Priory Clocks via this website and they replied straightaway and we arranged to visit the studio the next day. There we discovered a huge array of clocks and we easily found a clock that matched our exact requirements. Chris could not have been more helpful, honest and knowledgable.
Chris checked the accuracy of the mechanism and then came to our House and set up our clock.
We thoroughly recommend Priory Clocks."
Cheers" - Oliver & Emily
