Have you got a photo which you could scan and email to the list? It will
quite likely be possible to see from a photo whether it appears to be of
pre-Reformation date.

Where is the bell? You don't mention in your email. If you can supply
details of the church and the bell's position in the ring somebody on this
list may have seen it.
