Royal CASTLE Grandfather Clocks Galore!

[@jefflawrentz1624]

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

[@donnabaardsen5372]

Wonderful! Love all the clocks, watching you wind them up, Julie. Did we get to exactly how many clocks total are at Mapperton?

[@Downloadeodeo]

So comforting :D

[@marnieshaharov]

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 😊

Your Dad is 100 % Correct

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

Excellent.

I enjoyed the video. Just to clarify, the correct names for these early personal clocks are "longcase clocks" (a term used in the UK) and "tall case clocks" (a term used in the US). The term "grandfather clock" is more of a colloquial expression that became popular in more recent times. Additionally, I suspect that the sticker on the clock indicates either the clockmaker's period of work in the trade - or even the original owner's name and his duration of ownership. It's unlikely that a clockmaker would spend 30 years building a single clock, especially since most clockmakers produced several of these clocks each year in the 1700s.

Gosh, I could easily have watched an hour of this. Fascinating!

[@greg98223]

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 détails, I love seeing that part of Life in thèse videos.

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).

[@cobesclocks1949]

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.

[@celticlass8573]

Imagine how much that grandfather clock must have cost back then. Wholly cow!

[@georgfogel576]

Beautiful clocks! Thank you! How often does one have to wind up that big tower clock?

[@WallaceLEddy]

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.

[@claragoforth3645]

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…

[@andycolling]

So cool

[@josephnewberry9290]

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.

[@joannejordan8684]

Who was the person that lived above the clock and why?

[@jefsantamonica641]

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?

[@Susan.I]

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

[@enemde3025]

You literally had....time on your hands !

[@jmccraw777]

Did I miss it? How many clocks are there?

[@tomasburns6406]

A mere 3 though there’s obviously a lot more than that.

[@EarlyMusicDiva]

@@tomasburns6406 I would so love to see all the others too!

[@bjoern35mi]

beautiful 😍

[@David-h7j7p]

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.
