John Ellicott (1706-1772) was one of the finest clockmakers of the 18th Century. In circa 1728, he took premises in Sweetings Alley, near the Royal Exchange. By 1738, at the age of 32, he had already made his mark and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, later serving on its council for three years. In 1760 his son Edward joined the business and in 1762 he was appointed Clockmaker to the King.
