<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Henry Bond senior did a job at Great Barrington in 1862. The casting
<i>could</i> possibly be of that date (if it’s like Henry’s composite 7.D.a at Westcote for which there is no proven date, though 1855 OR 1902 seem to be the possible dates). Otherwise it’s likely to be later – and most probably a casting from a single truss
rather than part of (i.e. representative of) a whole frame. I may be able to find a record of what existed before 1935 in the Taylor records.</span></p>
