I posted an email to a historical society in Glossop some years ago seeking information and do not remember receiving a response. Your site has been an 'insight', 'cuse the pun.<br />My clock is obviously from the years when John was practising his craft in Glossop. <br />It is a simple 14hr mechanism, oak casing and signed Jno Shepley Glofsop.<br />We had estimated the age to be circa 1750 and your blog has confirmed this.<br /><br />Kindest Regards<br />James Fox<br />(ex Disley)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634670187176970015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-16751528997061222872018-01-07T14:43:36.478+00:002018-01-07T14:43:36.478+00:00Martin T - I know this is a long time since your p...Martin T - I know this is a long time since your post - my husband is also a descendant of the Shepley of the Lumn, Hyde.

His father was Samuel Shepley and his grandfather was called John - but not the clockmaker - John was a farmer born in 1799. HIS father was called John, he was a landowner and his father before him was also called John. This John was born in 1734 so still not early enough to be your clockmaker, however I do not know what his occupation was or how the family accumulated their wealth. If you have information that could join the bits up, I'd be interested.MartinThttp://zen8415atzen.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-85049501068406420052010-12-13T16:41:57.341+00:002010-12-13T16:41:57.341+00:00As fine and interesting as ever !

I had thought that this was just a Scottish word, as in the expression of good wishes 'Lang may your lumn reek' or 'Long may your chimney smoke'.Dave Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-64070988499766981482010-12-08T21:48:22.401+00:002010-12-08T21:48:22.401+00:00Keith who first got in touch with us about this as...Keith who first got in touch with us about this as emailed to say thank you... he had not heard of 'The Lumn' or where it was so I will be letting him know a bit more about that...
