[Bell Historians] Early Rudhall rings (was Mallabys)

[Paul Marshall]

The 6 at Quatt, near Bridgnorth, Shropshire, is a complete Rudhall ring 
dated 1700 - in more or less original condition too! All retain their 
canons except the 3rd, which is hung in an early cast-iron headstock 
(Barwell I think - or at least a Birmingham company (but definitely not 
Carrs)). They are hung in a frame which is said to pre-date the bells. 
It has been patched up quite a bit though.
