[Bell Historians] Early facsimile inscriptions

[David Cawley]

The earliest I can think of is at POSTLING Kent. Full details on Lovesguide, under that heading. On the 2nd, the inscription and one of the shields on the 14thC bell were apparently reproduced in facsimile on its 15thC successor, only the initial cross being altered to the 'Iesu merci ladi help' used by the London founders. The site also has some admirable photographs taken I think by RCO when the bells were being rehung in 1979 and the different respective shapes and type of canons will be seen when comparing this bell with the 14thC tenor.

  I'm looking to find out about early examples of facsimile inscriptions.

  Dates & locations would be most helpful.
