The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers have their office at The Salters’ Hall. The parish church is St Giles’ without Cripplegate in the Barbican, and we from time to time hold our Carol Service there.
We have an association with The Guild Church of St Dunstan-in-the-West in Fleet Street, due to there being a Memorial to Henry Jones, unfortunately behind the iconostasis, and there are records of three other distinguished clockmakers who were buried in the church or churchyard. These are Benjamin Hall, Christopher Pinckbeck and the most eminent Thomas Mudge. There was also a long history of Master Clockmakers as Church Wardens in the 17th and 18th Century. There are free lunchtime classical music recitals at St Dunstan-in-the-West on Wednesdays from 1.15 pm to 2.00 pm (select & click Services & Events)
We have also for some years supported the work of The Reverend Dr Peter Mullen, The Chaplain to the London Stock Exchange and rector in the City of London, and from time to time have our Carol Service at St. Sepulchre-without-Newgate at the junction of Holborn Viaduct and Giltspur Street, opposite the Old Bailey.
The Installation of the new Master and Wardens at the start of each year has for some time now taken place at Painters’ Hall in Little Trinity Lane. The Installation Service takes place at St James Garlickhythe, and the Clockmakers’ Company has recently contributed to the cost of building the new parish room at the church.
