The scallop shells (See Scott, Mack and Clarke <i>Towers &
bells of Devon</i> Vol.1 p.143 and pl.21) indicate that the 1762
bell is by one of the Penningtons, although it looks as though John
Scott wasn't aware of it since the bell isn't in his list of
Pennington bells (p.149)<br>
<br>
Re stable bells generally, Ted is absolutely right - they're
important and there are often (where they still survive) discoveries
to be made. I've done fairly systematic surveys in Beds, Herefs,
Warwicks and Worcs - and Christopher Dalton in Dorset, Somerset and
Wiltshire especially. Not always easy to locate them or to arrange
access though, since they are usually on private property. As
National Trust bells Adviser, CD also found out about bells on most
of their properties - work now being continued by George Dawson and
myself<br>
<br>
But a plea! If anyone does explore stable clock bells, please ALWAYS
look at any associated clocks too. Many are linked historically, and
so the names and dates from clocks are an important part of the
evidence<br>
