<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes. I have a Bill heading dated 1885 ~ '16
Silver Street, Wellingborough [Northants], Bought of John Rowlatt (late Buswell)
Furnishing & Gereral Ironmonger, Bell-hanger, Gas-Fitter &c'. etc.
Surprising what one can find when doing one's Family History!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Which brings me to Clipston, All Saints (5) in the
same county. Does any one know the reason why the Treble bell by T Eayre was
added in 1752 to the other three bells then in the tower? One of these is by
William Bagley 1681 and another 1589. The Tenor, now No 5 by JT was added in
1869. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reason why I ask is that the inscription reads
'John Buswell and Thomas Lawrence church wardens AD 1752 T Eayre Fecit.'
Was there any special happening at the time that caused this
augmentation?</FONT></DIV>
