Robert Wells (Maker)

This small horse bell, also known as a 'rumbler' or 'crotal bell', was made by Robert Wells of Aldbourne, Wiltshire, and probably dates from the eighteenth century or early nineteenth century. It was ploughed up near to Wittenham Clumps, between about 1914 and 1918, by a friend of the donor. It is spherical in shape, with a small loop at the top to hook onto a harness.
