Abstract: This list of English Bellfounders has been compiled from the Freemen's Rolls of various towns, wills, county histories, and the many works published of late describing the church bells in particular counties.The earliest and latest dates, as far as they have been ascertained, together with, where possible, the death of the bellfounders are given.Where the date of the taking up his freedom by a bellfounder in any city or town has been discovered it is also given.The capital letters accompanied by small figures indicate the publication, and the numbers refer to engraved representations where facsimiles of the stamps and letters of such bellfounder are to be seen.A key to these letters is appended to the list of names.
