He is believed to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Lawrence Debnam in Frome prior to moving to London in 1677 where he was admitted as a Free Brother to the Clockmakers'pany the following year. Delance remained in London until 1685 when he left the city and returned to Frome where he set up biness in Cheap Street - probably succeeding Lawrence Debnam who died in 1683 at the age of 40. Delance is recorded as undertaking work on clocks for Lord Weymouth at Longleat from at least 1694 until 1703. By 1721 Delance had moved to Downton, Wiltshire and was still working in 1736.
