[Bell Historians] Cromwell's churches?

[David Sloman]

There don't appear to be any 1642 bells in Essex, there are or were three 
bells at Kelshall Herts by Miles Graye, A Thomas Norris bell at Wistow 
Cambridgeshire & John Draper bell at Thuxton in Norfolk, all 1642.

Closer to Wiltshire, A Richard Tuck bell at Linkinholt, Higden bells at 
Nether Wallop and formerly some Robert Austen bells at Somerton, Somerset.

Bryan Eldridge, Ellis Knight, George Oldfield, Henry Bagley, Hugh Watts, 
Thomas Norris & William Clibury cast at least one bell each in this year so 
a few were cast.
