[Bell Historians] 14th C (?) bell on Ebay

[HENRY TAYSOM]

Looking at the photos of this bell on Ebay it would appear that there is a pronounced bright area on the outside of the sound bow which may suggest this was a clock bell or part of a well used  chiming system. Surely, in spite of apparently being stored for 60 years, someone must know something of its antiquity.

Yes, but it is a shame that it could end up abroad, etc.
