<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been updating all my records on Wiltshire,
at the same time sending updates to Dove but have refrained from sending
information from your Whitechapel list as requested, however have you any
objection from me doing so if the information came from CD. The entry in
question is Dinton, where 3 & 4 were recast by M & S in 1935 but
the founders detail for 2 is wrong also.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Peter asks "when did hemispherical bells start
being made?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A quick search in my file gives "earliest dates"
of 1842 for Mears, 1847 for Taylor and pre-1858 for Warner - although I
wouldn't be surprised to find earlier examples as my list is far from
complete</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Dish bells" were made in the C18th, and Thomas
Eayre of Kettering made a set of 12 (or so) for Harrowden Park in Northants in
the 1750s, unfortunately destroyed by fire in the later C18th. Some examples
by the Eayres and by Edward Arnold (e.g. Glaston, Rutland, 1793 - but
scrapped) are known. All from memory so e&oe</FONT></DIV>
