There seems to be some confusion about oiling a watch escapement. Use the finest oiler The pallet stones are to be oiled. Never oil the pallet pivots and never oil the pallet fork. Oil the escape wheel pivots. Oil the balance pivots You do not need to oil the teeth of the escape wheel, the oil on the pallet stones will do this by the rotation of the escape wheel and its coming into contact with the pallet stones.

Never oil the pallet fork.

Did you demagnetise the movement and the tools you used on it? I would check the h/spring for dirt, could be a tiny hair on it. When oiling the pallets stones only the tiniest amount and never oil the pallet pivots.

As you moved it are you, sure it is in beat that is the most likely cause. The photos are not too clear for my eyes. On the strike side, the hole that the red arrow is pointing at is very worn I can tell by how far the pivot has dropped in the circle. These clocks have powerful springs, but the brass and steel is quite soft and prone to wear.

See how the dial has been butchered in the centre to accommodate the centre wheel, which the hands are attached. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antique-Oak-Longcase-Clock-By-George-Hewett-Of-Marlborough/254082227069?hash=item3b287b1b7d:g:x-UAAOSwfgNcQzoI
