Which Purdue? Roger I of Bristol?</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
Ellacombe states in his book:<BR>
<BR>
1 Bilbie 1784<BR>
2 Bilbie 1784<BR>
3 Rudhall? 1831<BR>
4 Purdue 1634 (seems to suit Roger Purdue 1 as the inscription is the same as the 1630 bells which were at Chilcompton).<BR>
5 Purdue 1634 (Typical Purdue Inscription: COME WHEN I CALL TO SERVE GOD ALL 1634)<BR>
6 Purdue 1634<BR>
<BR>
I have a feeling that Ellacombe is right about the front 5. The tenor may be an error.<BR>
