Dealer Notes

Reverend Henry Thomas Ellacombe was an English clergyman who, from 1817 to 1850, was curate and then vicar of the parish of Bitton, near Bristol. He was an authority on bells and invented an apparatus to allow a single ringer to ring multiple bells, called the Ellacombe apparatus. He restored the church at Bitton and built three other churches in the district under his care. He was a skilled botanist and florist, and his garden was famous for its collection of rare plants.
