[Bell Historians] Re: 1642

[David Beacham]

John Martin's (Worcester Foundry) earliest bell is dated 1644. In 1645 he 
cast a bell for Droitwich, St Andrew's, and in "Church Bells of 
Worcestershire", Walters comments "The date of this bell is remarkable, 
there being hardly another existing bell in England cast in this year, and 
the inscription GOD SAVE THE KING is hardly less noteworthy; but 
Worcestershire was, of course, a strongly Royalist county."
