Archaeological excavations in Southampton have found a rectangular bell cas=
ting pit, in which at least 6 bells seem to have been cast.It was big enoug=
h to do two at a time. Date is probably 17th/18th century. Does anyone know=
of a Southampton bell maker, or bells in the area that might be from one? =
Could the Salisbury foundry have set up a base in Southampton for a specifi=
c job? Any clues welcome!=20
