  1. John Brickle or Jock Brickle was born in the village of Louth. From what I hear he never went to school. He can repair clocks and watches and never served his time. He must be gifted. He travels far and near. He has a bag for carrying his tools and does the repairs in your own house because he has no fixed place of residence. He cannot speak properly as he has a hares lip and would rather be called John than Jock.
