<DIV>I thought you had one of the bell in the foundry? It is shown with what I
assume to be the Beverley headstock, though the later bell is larger. The
headstock at Downside is not the same as that shown on the foundry snap.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I gave Matthew a print some years ago. I might still a spare that i can
let you have.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Several - what sort of angle? It's quite hard to photograph it
in the tower. I have some old ones of it in the foundry (Thanks to NOS),
outside Beverley Minster and also outside Downside. I have seen anothe of
it being unlodaed at Chilcompton Station in 1903, before being hauld over
the fields using horses and a large cart!</DIV>
