Thomas Utting became a successful maker of clocks, known through bracket clocks, watches, and numerous longcase clocks, which must have been his staple product. It seems that one longcase clock is known signed at Beccles, but most of his work is signed at Yarmouth, which shop was probably the source of much of his business. He was still living in 1775. He may have been the Thomas Utting of Great Yarmouth who died in 1795, a 'gentleman'. Although the Manley name died out in clockmaking in Norfolk and Suffolk in 1739, dynasty continued in Thomas Utting's name to last lasted some hundred and thirty years, from the 1660 to 1795.
