Unidentified bellfounder at Flixton St John

[George Dawson]

John Greenhough in:

discusses this bell. Without a photo it is difficult to comment, but Kamp
may be an abbreviation for Kampen in the Netherlands & thus the bell may be
from there. According to Lehrs  Art of the Carillon in the Low Countries
there certainly were founders at Kampen.

I received the following inquiry from someone in England. I cannot 
answer it based on the resources available to me. Can anyone else 
provide an answer?
