Chewton Mendip old six

[a_m_bull]

Anyone know who cast the second and third of the heavy six that preceeded the present Taylor octave at Chewton Mendip? Ellacombe gives the inscriptions of the two bells as:

THOMAS LANGTON CAST WE THREE LESSER BELLS G. ADAM WARDEN 1627

and

T. PENGARD CHURCHWARDEN WIL. COVENTRY CARPENTER THO. STAR Ye PLUMER S. WASON Ye MAS 1627

I can find no mention in anything I have to hand of a founder called Thomas Langton. I have trawled through the lists of bells by various founders of the time in Chris Dalton's "Dorset" and John Scott's "Devon", but drawn a blank.

Anyone have any ideas?
