<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bell from the former Worcester, St Michael's,
on display (among others) in the cloisters at Worcester cathedral is dated
1480. It is a "twin" for the Grimley 1482 bell, the dates in both having
been "scratched" in the mould rather than by the use of stamps. See
"Church Bells of Worcestershire" (Walters) if you're lucky enough to have a
copy!</FONT></DIV>
