More information

Thomas Loomes was apprenticed to John Selwood and became Free of The Clockmakers' Company in 1649. On his erstwhile master's death he took over at The Mermaid in the major lantern clock producing area of Lothbury. Loomes married Mary Fromanteel, daughter of the important early maker Ahasuerus Fromanteel. He is really known for his lantern clocks although he also made a chiming table clock. However, no work is known after 1664 and it is assumed that Thomas Loomes died in The Plague of 1665. The following year Lothbury was razed to the ground in The Great Fire.
