But does the ebay stuff show any inscription or identifying marks?<br/>I do have some info on bells supplied to UK destinations - and not all locations have been identified<br/>The Lye bells aren't 1880 - they're undated, but probably cast in 1883 and hung in 1885 (from memory)<br/>CP<p>Sent using BlackBerry® from Orange</p><hr/><div><b>From: </b> "Matthew Higby & Company Ltd, www.bellhangers.com" <matthewhigby@aol.com>

<div>Phil Gay pointed this one out to me a few days ago.</div>

<div>I don't think it is one of the Cattistock bells as according to Dalton's Dorset, only one of them (bell no 28) was dated 1880 (a recast) and this weighed only 0-1-5 in A - rather light for a 17" bell. Nearly all of the others had personalised inscriptions. The Lye are all dated 1880.</div>
