Description: | A cast copper-alloy crotal bell dating to the early modern period. The bell is spherical and was cast in one-piece. The bell has a thick girth-rib around the centre and two sound holes in the upper hemisphere. A square suspension loop is located at the top. The lower hemisphere contains two holes joined by a channel. One one side are the makers initials WG, and on the other side is what appears to be the symbol of a founder's hammer. The initials WG might refer to William Gwynn of Aldbourne, circa 1770-1813.
