Walnut grandfather clock, c. late 19th century
Lund & Blockley comprised John Alexander Lund and Herbert Blockley who worked at 42 Pall Mall London from 1872-1876 (successors to Viner clockmakers), and had a branch in Bombay, India. They were retailers and manufacturers of house and turret clocks, including for Queen Victoria, between 1875 and 1905. In addition, the firm was highly regarded for its specialised travel and expedition watches which were recommended by the Royal Geographical Society for all the explorations it sponsored at the time.
This clock was made operational again – like many others in the house – by West Dean College in Chichester.
