[Bell Historians] Horton Glos old tenor

Mon Jan 3 02:37:50 GMT 2011

Sorry, as a PS to my mail, I should have mentioned that this was the only inscription on the bell. It is possible that Ms Mary Bliss could shed some light as to why Robert Norton of Exeter was considered by herself and the very knowledgeable Frederick Sharpe to be the likely founder. Is the Inscription an element of his "modus  operandi"?

If it is of any help, the inscription on the old Tenor is as follows:-

CONFIRMAT NOS TRINITAS
SANCTA IN CARITATE PERFECTA

Does anyone know if the founder of the old tenor at Horton, Gloucestershire, has been positively identified? Bliss & Sharpe strongly suggest that it is by Robert Norton of Exeter, but stated that this awaited verification by John Scott. Did this ever happen?

Many thanks,

Andrew Bull
