There are two bells at Christ Church that have the crowned capital
inscription: the ninth and tenth of the current ring of twelve. They weigh
12cwt and 16cwt respectively, additionally the ninth still retains its
canons.

A drawing of the inscription on the tenth can be found on p261 of Fred
Sharpe's Church Bells of Oxfordshire.

I hope this is of use.
