You have probably got what you want by now, but a (b & w) photograph of mine
of this peal board was published on p. 79 of Vol. 2 of 'Change Ringing:  The
History of an English Art'.  It is not difficult to photograph, by the way.

Hanford, Dorset, must be about the earliest bell I have photographed and an
illustration (again b & w) appears in Part 2 of 'Bells and Belfries of
Dorset".  Whitechapel Foundry has a photo of it too, from when it was
re-fitted,
