  • Julie joins Pete, the caretaker at Rockingham, to help with his weekly task of winding all the historic clocks in the castle - from the mid-eighteenth century grandfather clock in the Great Hall to the clock on the tower of the Laundry building where the maids once tried to sleep! Julie finds that winding these clocks is quite a workout!

    The dates provided with the clockmaker were the dates he was active in business. That’s a remarkable collection- very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    As a left hander, I appreciate the 'correct' winding mechanism of the last clock.

    Henry Clay Work( an american composer) wrote My Grandfathers Clock in 1876. Before that they were known as long case clocks. The song was an international hit. The Grandfather clock was born.

    The clocks are beautiful. The first grandfather clock reminds me very much of the one at my Dad's house and the one we had growing up. He watched the video and said the dates on the inside of the clock, '1750-1785', means the clockmaker built clocks during that time , not that it took that long to make 😊

    My parents and grandparents always told me that Grandmother clocks were the smaller version, and that Grandfather clocks were larger (essentially the same clocks, just different sizes).

      This is very true grandmother clocks are usually skinnier and not above 5 feet grandfather clocks are usually wider and are right above 6 feet or higher.

    Could the dates in the grandfather clock been dates for William Allen, the clockmaker -- his birth/death dates? or dates when he was making clocks? Just a guess.

    I received a family clock in the winter but since the move across a few states I have yet to been able to keep it running. I have tried leveling the clock and did some basic fiddling with the innards but no luck so far…

    Thank goodness it doesn’t have to be wound more than once a week!

    First, My Grandfather's Clock, a popular American song from the late 1870s, is the origin of the name. I guess the British liked the sound of it better than longcase or floor clock and adopted it also. Second, unless I missed something, there were only three clocks shown of which 66% were grandfather clocks. Were there more clocks I missed? If not, I don't understand the title claiming there are clocks galore or implying it's a big job to wind them all. You wind the first two within about five minutes of each other and the big one about 20 minutes later.

    When o when will these clocks be called by their proper name LONGCASE CLOCK. invented in England in the 17th century The slang term Grandfather came from the American song by Henry Work [ My Grandfathers Clock ] written in 1876.

    And how and when do you change the time like the U.S. will do this weekend - an hour forward - can you just move the hands or is there a sequence to it?
