LOT 1698

Medieval Iron Bell Group

17TH-18TH CENTURY A.D.

2 - 5 in. (1 kg total, 5-13 cm).

Comprising bells of various shapes and sizes, most retaining their suspension loop and clapper and producing a range of sounds. [12, No Reserve]

Provenance

Acquired 1990s-early 2000s.
East Anglian private collection.

Literature

Cf. similar specimen in PAS OXON-B6021C, found in Oxfordshire.

Footnotes

Like the bell found in Oxfordshire, these bells are quadrangular with sloping sides to a narrow rounded top, furnished of a hanging ring. While these bells are similar in overall shape to Roman and Middle Saxon examples, a post medieval date is perhaps more likely.
