[Bell Historians] Photographic Help

[Andrew Wilby]

We have a framed photo on the wall in Towcester tower of the bell, taken 
over 100 years ago. I was looking at it the other days thinking it could do 
with being unpacked, cleaned and rehung.

I could scan it at the same time and make copies available to anyone 
interested.

The handwritten inscription on the photo says "Presented to the Towcester 
Belfry by J Jenkinson 1890 something"?

He was a local banker and wool merchant who owned the adjacent Chantry 
House.
He was a non ringer so far as I know but, being a man of wealth, may have 
made a trip to Russia and taken the photo himself.
