<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The earliest I can think of is at POSTLING Kent.
Full details on Lovesguide, under that heading. On the 2nd, the inscription
and one of the shields on the 14thC bell were apparently reproduced in
facsimile on its 15thC successor, only the initial cross being altered to
the 'Iesu merci ladi help' used by the London founders. The site also has some
admirable photographs taken I think by RCO when the bells were being rehung in
1979 and the different respective shapes and type of canons will be seen when
comparing this bell with the 14thC tenor.</FONT></DIV>
