Long case clock with wood case, brass dial, the face inscribed with the name Wiliam Gunn of Wallingford in Oxfordshire. Hours in Roman numerals, with a fleur de lys motif between each. The clock has only one hand, the pendulum hanging from a rope which probably dates to the repair in 1894 which is recorded on a label inside. The case, movement and dial are all original, though the catch is not, and the clock is typical of a farmhouse clock..
