John Knibb was born in 1650 and apprenticed to Joseph in circa 1664, who at this time had his workshop in Oxford. When Joseph moved to London circa 1670, John took on the running of the Oxford workshop receiving the Freedom of the City in 1672 having paid a fine. Obviously the clocks made by John resembled those of his illustrious brother Joseph and he obtained his cases from the same London source as Joseph. Some of John's movements may well have originated from the London workshop, identified by having both names signed on the clock, but John made movements in his own right and took on ten apprentices in his time including the excellent maker John Aldworth who, having moved to London circa 1697, continued to make clocks in the Knibb manner. John was a member of the City Council of Oxford from 1686 becoming a Bailiff in 1688 and twice Mayor, first in 1698 and again in 1710, as well as an Alderman and Keykeeper. John Knibb, of Smith Gate in the parish of Holywell, Oxon, died in July 1722 and was buried at St Cross church, Holywell therefore ending the Knibb family's influence as clockmakers. * Note.
