The Bunworth harp

Bunworth harp

The Bunworth harp bears an inscription on its forepillar:

MADE•BY
IOHN•KELLY
FOR
THE REVD
CHARLES
BUNWORTH
BALTDANI
EL
1734

i.e. Made by John Kelly for the Revd. Charles Bunworth, Baltdaniel, 1734

Many of the letters are elegantly ligatured together, in a similar way to the inscription on the Downhill harp.
