Of particular interest is the 7th at Droitwich, St Andrew, also inscribed as
above. It was cast in 1645 by John Martin, of Worcester, during the Civil
War and at a time when, according to Walters (Church Bells of
Worcestershire) "..there being hardly another existing bell in England cast
in that year."

David Beacham
