[Bell Historians] The Botley Youths

I think that Richard has hit on the core of this - it's probably not a real
peal, but some obscure reference to do with William Cobbett (founder of the
Chartist movement) and the Hampshire village of Botley with which he had
strong associations. See

Hard to tell what the supposed peal is really all about, I guess
