Biography of clockmaker William Frodsham (1728-1807)

William Frodsham was born in 1728 and became the founder of the famous family firm of clockmakers William Frodsham & Son.

Frodsham was made an honorary Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in 1781 before opening his own retail shop at 12 Kingsgate Street, Red Lion Square, London.

Frodsham was an important maker who may well have acted as a journeyman to Justin Vuilliamy.
