Hi, just a quick query, do you supply any parts for a Parry Pencarreg, (what we think is a Grandmother) clock? The part that attaches to the pendulum is sadly missing.Thanks

I have a clock with a face indicating J Parry Pencarreg. It has been passed down the family through the oldest male in the family tree. My great great great grandfather was the cabinet maker of the clock and J Parry Pencarreg provided the Clock mechanism and the face.
I have just sent it to be restored and I am told it will return as a very hansome clock. It will never be sold.
Though I now live in North Yorkshire all my family are the Jones's of Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire.
