Anthony Woodburn
Daniel Delander was born in around 1678 and was apprenticed in 1692 to Charles Halstead. However, by 1693 he had transferred to Thomas Tompion and was Free of the Clockmakers' Company in 1699. He continued working as a journeyman for Thomas Tompion and in 1704 set himself up in Deveraux Court. In 1712, a year before Tompion's death, Delander moved to Temple Bar, Fleet Street. A fine maker, he is perhaps best know for his longcase clocks with duplex escapements. He died in 1733.
