This is the first comprehensive history of musical handbells and their founders. The result of some 35 years’ research by the author, beginning with the evolution of small bells, through the development of pattern-cast bells in the late 17th century to more than a hundred founders all over England. “I like this book; the standard of the research is matched by the standard of production ... Thoroughly recommended. ” Journal of the Handbell Ringers of Great Britain
