was advertised on ebay before and the vendor agreed to withdraw the 
bell from sale while efforts were made to try and trace the history of 
the bell which was  in the ownership of a former churchwarden at 
Saffron Walden. Saffron Walden records show that a Priest's bell was 
sold in 1849, but efforts to link the bell and churchwarden have 
failed. The vendor is now anxious to sell the bell, at a high price? 
considering the bell is small and uninscribed.

     any chance of it being bought by any of the foundries or even the 
Diocese at a realistic price for display?
