From Robert Mot the foundry passed through several hands who did not supply any bells to this county, until Pack and Chapman sent bells to Uppingham in 1773 : after several more changes C. and G. Mears supplied the ist bell to Ashwell in 1850.
G. Mears sent bells to Oakham in 1858, and the whole ring to Empingham in 1859.
Mears and Stainbank cast the 4th bell at Ryhall. Mr.
Robert Stainbank«is now the sole proprietor of this foundry ; Mr. George Mears, his former partner, died about the year 18...74, having then been out of the business for some years.
ALPHABET BELLS.
Upon several bells in this county, are portions of the Alpha- bet. It has been suggested that the founders being desirous not to offend by placing ancient precatory or devotional, and therefore often unwelcome, inscriptions upon their bells, and yet being too illiterate to suggest new ones, adopted this plan to escape the difficulty. By it they ornamented their bells with a goodly show of Gothic capitals which could give offence to no one.
