[Bell Historians] Taylor shield

[David Bryant]

"I'd always assumed the shield was that of the Brasyer foundry. Perhaps there is a connection or evolution between this and Watts."

I believe Watts acquired the Norwich foundry stamps - or some of them at least. No doubt somebody (DLC?) will know more about this.

As anyone who has seen Brasyer bells will be aware, they have the shield placed distinctively on the shoulder of the bell.
