I don’t have any Bond bells.
I have this book...Hi<br /><br />I don’t have any Bond bells.<br /><br />I have this book:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.co.uk/Musical-Handbells-Comprehensive-History-Founders/dp/1860771181/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1442153149&sr=1-1&keywords=musical+handbells<br /><br />On pages 66 and 67 there is a history of the Bonds from Henry’s birth in 1829 to the death of Thomas in 1947 and final closure of the foundry. There is also a reference in Church Bells of Oxfordshire by F Sharpe.<br /><br />You may have all the information already but thought best to mention!<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Peter (Fido)<br />Fidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184234993284654847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29928782.post-6239022924205239972015-09-12T21:28:06.814+01:002015-09-12T21:28:06.814+01:00Dear Fido, just picked up on your blog.
