Jockey sliders. They were sometimes used by both Taylors and Gillett and Johnston.

 

Whilst on the subject of sliders, Trevor Jennings states in his book ‘The Development of British Bell Fittings’ that pendulum sliders were introduced by Taylors in the 1980s. This is incorrect, Whitechapel were using them for their small rings (Radlett, St Alphege, Seasalter, etc.)  20 years before this.

The three photographs I have of the bells in the frame when in the Loughborough Bell Foundry in 1893 do not show any  Ellacombe hammers. The images showing the bells being 'clocked' supports this observation.

A news article about chiming the octave at the Church of the Holy Name has a photo of the bells.

One wonders whether there was ever an Ellacombe stand. 

 

An archived version of a former Website has more photos:
