<div><font style="background-color: transparent;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was just talking this over with David Bagley. We think it has the hallmarks of a John Rudhall bell. Around that time, Edward Cockey of frome was supplying bells by other founders and often used to chip off the makers names, claiming they were his own. He bought bells from Mears, Jefferies & Price and also the Aldbourne Foundry, so he seemed to spread his business around. This could well be a Rudhall/Cockey production.</font></div>
