The dictionary is preceded by an introduction on timekeeping and the history of clock- and watchmaking in Bedfordshire. Extracts are included from a selection of documents to illustrate the sources used in compiling the dictionary. They range over advertisements, Bedfordshire Quarter Sessions' records, bills and customers' financial accounts, churchwardens' accounts, clubs, insurance records and settlement examinations.

The biographical dictionary provides family details, apprenticeships, places of work and examples of the person's work, amongst much other information. Here will be found information about Thomas Tompion from Northill 'widely regarded as the greatest English clockmaker'.

Appendices list the places of work in Bedfordshire and neighbouring counties of clock- and watchmakers (with a map) and of apprentices to the trade 1631-1881.
