<p>My wife is reading a book by Christopher Stocks, called "Forgotten Fruits" - The stories behind Britain's traditional fruit and vegetables. In a chapter on gooseberries, it talks about a gooseberry call "Crown Bob" which dates back to some time before 1812, saying:<br>
<br>
"Crown Bob, incidentally, is the name for a particular peal of bells that may date back to the sixteenth century."<br>
<br>
The only method containing the word Crown is Crown Court Bob Minor. How old is this method? Is it the connection, or is is something else?<br>
