[Bell Historians] More lost rings: Throckmorton

[Susan Dalton]

Throckmorton visited 26/3/74 to photograph the church (including single bell
in partly medieval frame) for RCHME. Photos should be available in NMRC in
Swindon. Visited again 4/5/87 to look further at the 4-bell frame.

Remaining bell (33 in. diameter; note about C) must have been the treble of
4. No inscription other than an ornamental border. According to
H B Walters in C B Worcs. the 2nd was similarly inscribed (or rather
uninscribed) but he reported that bell as broken. All four bells said to
have been by Henry Farmer 1622.

frame, which was a daft thing to do but then they tended to do daft things
in Peterborough Diocese during that particular bell consultant's time.
Happily there is now a new one.]
