About Davis Mell
Davis Mell (also David or Davy; 15 November 1604 – 27 April 1662) was an English clockmaker and violinist. He was born at Wilton, Wiltshire near Salisbury the son of a servant of William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke. He was primarily a clockmaker, and was, until the middle of the seventeenth century, accounted the first violinist in England in point of skill. He may be said to occupy the position of the earliest English violinist of note. Anthony Wood says that Mell was "one of the musick to King Charles I," and "had a sweet stroke."
