Larcum Kendall (21 September 1719 in Charlbury, Oxfordshire – 22 November 1790 in London) was a British watchmaker. == Early life ==
Kendall was born on 21 September 1719 in Charlbury. His father was a mercer and linen draper named Moses Kendall, and his mother was Ann Larcum from Chepping Wycombe; they married on 18 June 1718. The family were quakers. The cottage where they lived is thought to be on the site of Charlbury's post office on Market Street. He had a brother, Moses.〔 In 1735 Kendall was apprenticed to the London watchmaker John Jeffreys. He was living with his parents in St Clement Danes at the time.〔 Jeffreys created a pocket watch for John Harrison, who later used ideas from pocket watches in his H4.〔 Kendall set up his own business in 1742, working with Thomas Mudge to make watches, working for the watch and clock maker George Graham. In 1765 he was one of six experts selected by the Board of Longitude to witness the operation of John Harrison's H4, which he was subsequently asked to duplicate.〔
