Title
St Thomas' Church Clock, Heptonstall - KST00244
Description
Manufactured by Bancroft.
Titus Bancroft was born 13th February 1778, probably in Sowerby Bridge. He was baptised on 15th March 1778 at the Northgate End Presbyterian Chapel in Halifax. He died in Halifax on 17th May 1839 and is buried at St John’s Church Halifax.
Titus seems to have been a maker of watches and clocks in the period between 1809-1838. The local trade directory of 1822 lists him as a “Church Clock Maker” which in those days must have been an occupation of some importance.
