[Bell Historians] Seventeenth-century Bells and mortars for sale

[David Sloman dsloman261@gmail.com [bellhistorians]]

The 1624 bells by Brend that are recorded in bell books are 3 at Badingham,
Coltishall, Marlingford, Weston Longville, all diameters are known and none
are 76 cm, I haven't got diameters for Fishley, Hoveton, Westwick or
Yelverton possibly one of these if the bell came from a church?, of course
it may not have done, a bit difficult with the 1619 bell without a diameter..
