[Bell Historians] Database of Bell Founders

[Richard Offen]

A very helpful database, congratulations. 

Hopefully many will submit corrections.   For starters, may I point out that the 17th century  Kentish bell founders are John and Henry WilnAr, not Wilner.

If you have any comments or amendments, I would be grateful to receive these, with due acknowledgement, but I would be very grateful if you would let me know the source of such data. This is probably best sent to me via the 'contact' link on the website, but if you think the topic may be of interest to a wider audience via this forum, I will leave that to you.
