Not illustrated. 1912 Excerpt: ...on the trade-mark altered to i t. This I.T. is clearly Norton's successor, but so far his name has not been identified. He uses six different leonine verses, some peculiar to this foundry, which are given in full on p. 325. One of his bells occurs as far away as Upton Magna in Shropshire, but may possibly be a second-hand bell. In Somerset there was no local mediaeval foundry, except one established at Aish Priors near Taunton in the reign of Henry VIII. by the somewhat eccentric Roger Semson or Simpson. He uses large sprawling semi-Gothic letters, and sometimes even Roman capitals, but his inscriptions are usually unexceptional in their theology.

But in the fifteenth they are much more numerous. One group, well represented in Somerset, is noteworthy for the similarity of the stamps to those of John 1 Ellacombe, Devon, p. 46. a Bristol and Glouc. Arch. Soc. Trans., xviii. p. 227; see for others Braikenridge and Bickley, Bristol Deeds, pp. 16, 19, &c. Ship used by a Bristol founder Barber of Salisbury (p. 196), and it has been suggested that they are the work of John Gosselin, whose father is mentioned in Barber'...
