[Bell Historians] Canewdon John Waylett bell.

[Richard Offen]

'I' instead of 'J' was very common, probably until the 19th century, and it
would not have been considered unusual to spell a name beginning with 'J'
that way. There's an interesting book on the History of the Alphabet; sorry,
but I can't remember the author.

 

‘Alpha Beta’ by John Man.
