[Bell Historians] Bell Ropes.

Alan Buswell wrote  
'One has heard of many instances of Bell Yard or Bell Field where itinerant
bell founders cast their bells but how frequent do we find examples of the
above?'

The name Bell Field may also have been given to land whose rent was used to
maintain the bells.
There was some land at Hilperton Marsh, near Trowbridge, which was given for
the maintenance of Trowbridge bells by a grateful person who had lost his
way and was guided home by the sound of Trowbridge bells.  The visible
reminder of this is 'The Ring of Bells' B&B, Marsh Road, Trowbridge.
