<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:

10% survive), Lukis, James Jerram and Walters. The 1590’s were a
time of dearth and it would be interesting to see national figures for this
period.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'>The two main founders were John Wallis of Salisbury (fl 1580-1624) and
Roger Purdue I of Bristol, (fl 1620-1642). Wallis is said to have cast
the first eight for Wiltshire at Bishops Cannings in 1602. Purdue cast a
considerable number of five-bell peals and there is some very interesting material
from Melksham, Highworth and Hannington on these. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:

judging by the expenditure (which is not detailed), Pewsey did an enormous amount
of work in 1640 which could have included bells. No bells from that date
survive at Pewsey though.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
