Abinger Hammer village was the centre of an iron industry in the 16th & 17th centuries and there were many forges in the area. The notable clock, a memorial to the past, was put up in 1899. An effigy of a farrier, Jack the Hammer, rings the bell every fifteen minutes.

Above all a wood engraver, on leaving school Webb had been apprenticed to a lithographic firm
before serving in the First World War, when he was severely wounded.
From 1919 to 1922 he studied art at the Westminster School, where he began to engrave on wood.
About 1934 he and his wife moved to the Surrey village of Abinger Hammer;
together they produced children’s books.
Webb also illustrated books for the Golden Cockerel Press, as well as continuing to produce independent wood engravings.
