Information about the RH bell in the tower
[+] SERVA [K] CAMPANAM [Q] SANCTA [K] MARIA [Q] SANAM
With all letters āSā reversed, as at Dyrham. Ideally, I would like
close-up photos of the 4 RHs together with the adjacent letters on either side
to provide location identification, together with a close-up of the initial
cross image. It would be nice to have some photos showing the distribution of
the moulding wires & grooves, as you showed on your photos, as these items all
help in the identification of the bell-founder or foundry, which in the case of
Nettleton, is taken to be the Worcester Foundry during the period 1400 ā 1420
A.D.

The Article below was found by Jamie Fairchild an ex ringer at Frampton Cotterell and
passed to Gary Crisp who has given me a copy
in the Cornerstone Magazine which is the journal of the SPAB (Society for the
Protection of Ancient Buildings) and is the alternate
view or purports to be about the removal of Horton's listed frame.
Many Thanks to Cornerstone Magazine and a John Lawrence for
the picture.
