Cold  Ashby, Northamptonshire has what it claims to be the oldest bell 
currently  hung for change ringing. Unusually for such an early bell, the  
inscription actually carries the date -  1317. 


The two trebles at Milton Keynes (Bradwell) claim to be 1297. I have  a 
picture of the bells somewhere.
