Reuben Bosworth

Reuben Bosworth (ca.1797 – 26 July 1883) was a watch and clockmaker in Nottingham.

He was apprenticed John Whitehurst in Derby, and then moved to Nottingham and succeeded William Hall, taking over his duties in regulating and winding the Nottingham Town Hall clock in 1833.

In the Nottingham Review of 15 March 1844, an article appeared praising his work.

We beg to draw the attention of our readers to the superior performance of this time keeper.

The clock was made by Mr. Reuben Bosworth….and to such great accuracy has Mr. Bosworth regulated its rate of going, that, from the second of November last to the present time [March 1844] a period of four months, it has not varied half a minute.
