Literature

*Edward Burgis lived in St Saviour's Southwark. Although he seems never to have joined the Clockmakers' Company, he was well respected by them and was asked to adjudicate a clockmaking contest on their behalf. Longcase, bracket, and lantern clocks by him survive. He was active from probably the 1670s until well into the 1st quarter of the 18th century.
