Bailey and Street were clockmakers at Bridport, and cast bells. No. 6 bell 

 is remarkable for the very artistic style of the ornamental bordering, 

 consisting of conventional foliage and cherubs' heads. The casting of this 

 ornament is as fine and sharp and in as high relief as if cut with tools.
