<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Following the death in 1679 of the Salisbury Bell
Founder Richard Florey, his widow Elizabeth in 1680 entered into an agreement
with Clement Tosier, also of Salisbury, to new cast the seventh and tenor bells
to be hung in the former detached bell tower at Salisbury Cathedral. Whether she
was physically involved with the founding of these two bells is not known,
Elizabeth nee Orchard died in October 1680 thus her sojourn in the bell founding
business was indeed short. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Prof
Tiffany Ng (University of Michigan) and I are running a small project to
document and promote early contributions of women to the carillon art (early
being interpreted primarily as the first part of the 20th century, but also more
broadly to include notable instances outside of this time frame). We welcome any
information relevant to women who contributed to bellfounding and related
activities, but especially with connections to firms or installations of
carillons.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">For
example, we are already familiar with contributions of Gwendoline Taylor in
Loughborough (although this requires more archive work to fully understand),
Sidonie and Marie Causard in France (early 20th century), and a successor to a
branch of the Hemony foundry being taken on for a short time by a woman relative
of one of the brothers.</DIV>
