Looks like Taylors' vine to me.

Not sure what all the recent correspondence about the (in my view,
pernicious) practice about making heavy rings lighter has to do with bell
history! But my pennyworth would be to ask what people think of the
scrapping of the 19 cwt 17th century ring of 5 (apart from the 18th centu=
ry
tenor which was kept as a clock bell) and the substitution of a 4 cwt rin=
g
of 6 in a large and handsome 15th century Wiltshire tower of my
acquaintance.

When my brain is working better in the morning I will concoct a reply to
someof the recent references to Llewellins and James (Broughton Gifford,
East Ardsley et al). What I can say without reference to my notes is that
the former 7th at Glastonbury St John was cast by the same unknown founde=
r
as Yeovilton tenor, a bell at Cherington in Glos, and the back 3 at Lamph=
ey
in Pembrokeshire. It was the lighter and earlier Llewellin bell that was
cast for Peter Llewellin at Whitechapel.
