My 8 day grandfather clock has survived many generations of my family and I am the current custodian. It dates from 1750’s and still keeps perfect time. Made by Reuben Lamude of Chard in Somerset where it spent all its life before arriving here when left to me by my uncle. My hope is that it will continue to be loved by future generations but our children think it is a load of junk, it’s an IKEA world now. Perhaps our grandchildren will possess more sentimentality.
