Church Bells of Somerset

This is yet another landmark publication for SANHS and the history of Somerset. Edited for publication by David Bromwich, this volume contains research undertaken by George W. Massey over a period of 40 years chronicling Somerset’s church bells. Covering the whole of the ancient county of Somerset , the bells of each of its parishes are described in detail, along with illustrations and references from parish accounts, some dating from the medieval period. This is a monumental reference work painstakingly compiled over four decades. 800 pages, 111 black and white illustrations, hardback, ISBN 078 0 902152 24 3.
