My interest arose as the consequence of finding a website where it mentioned
a bell at Chester St Paul PA, and C S Zimmermanns subsequent enquiry about
it. The inscription is:
ROGER RICE CHESTER 1743

Searches for Chester UK & Cheshire had found nothing.
Any further information on him would be appreciated.
