Description: | A cast copper alloy spherical bell fragment. The fragment is 34.4mm wide x 32.7mm tall x 2.24mm thick. It has two broken lugs at the top which would have been a probable square suspension loop. The bell has a thickened median rib. There are two circular sound holes in the upper half. The lower half is completely missing. Spherical bells usually have two more holes connected via a slit in the lower half. The striker is missing and there is no decoration on the bell. It has a black, grey colour and green patina. There is no makers mark on this bell, however it is post medieval and probably dates from the sixteenth century (Geake, 2001).
