History
Roger F. Carrington (1948–2005) was a horological researcher, specialising in Liverpool watchmaking. He was the author of important articles published in Antiquarian Horology: "Thomas Yates of Preston, Watchmaker & Experimentalist' (1975) and “Pierre Frederic Ingold and the British Watch and Clockmaking Company” (1978). He also undertook painstaking research at Guildhall Library into watchmakers and clockmakers in insurance records, and was a collector of unusual horological items which he sourced at antique markets. Although publication plans for his proposed books were cut short by his untimely death, he left behind a wealth of research papers and manuscripts in various stages of completion.
