Chicklade, Wilts, All Saints, 1/1; 20.1/2" 1832. NB He gives the inscription

inscription)

WALES

Llanwen, Cards, St Gwynen, 1/1; 17.3/4" 1829 W J (FS CB Cardiganshire)

Wright accounts for 15 bells, viz St Mary Abergavenney and St John, now the
Masonic Hall, Abergavenney (both cast in 1835 for St Johns by W J); and by
J&P, Llandenny 1 & 2 1839; Mynyddislwyn 1 & 3 1844; Llanhennock 1 (?) 1845;
Newport St Paul 1 1852; Llanmartin 1 1854; and bells not dated at Glascoed
1; Govilon 1; Goytre 1 & 2; Llangovan 1 & 2.. He further records that J&P
went into receivership in 1854.

The back 6 of the 8 (7th recast) at Glasbury have been mentioned (J&P 1838);
CB Breconshire also mentions a bell at St David's, Carmarthen, cast by J&P
in 1836; presumably after April 10th - see Kingsdown, above. So dates for
Jefferies alone seem to be 1829-1836 and for J & P 1836-1854, though this
statement is based on the forgoing, which is partial - but at least a start
!
