I've received the following query about an article on p50 of the RW in
1979. I'm not familiar with the term "Headman" and am hoping
someone can describe what this was. Obviously I know that the Mancroft
company refers to the ringers at Mancroft.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=2>Could I ask you to
clarify something for me? Peckover is referred to as the
"Headman" of the Mancroft Company. Does this mean he was the
leader of the Company of Bellringers at St Peter Mancroft (tower
captain?) rather than that he was the boss of a manufacturing company
called the Mancroft Company?<br>
</font> <br>
<font size=2>He also rang 5280 changes of Oxford Treble Bob at St
Michael at Coslany in 1832.</font></blockquote><br><br>
