Clock goes back

AN EIGHTEENTH century clock made by Dorking family has returned to the fold after a sale at Crow's Auction Gallery, Dorking.

The oak longcase clock was made by William Risbridger and was bought for £1,500 by a member of the family on Wednesday.

Their ancestors originally came to the country from Holland in the 13th century.

The family now has an enginerring company that produces petrol pumps.







This cutting was in the possession of W&J Risbridger and was published in the Dorking Advertiser on 9th April 1992. Cyril Risbridger was given a copy when he went to visit the family in Bletchingley. Cyril wrote a note: "My research does not support this statement. We have documentary proof of family ancestry to 1098 in England"
