Account further states that one of the angels depicted in the stained glass is carrying a trumpet. In 1912, Fred G. Bell offered a similarly-described item for sale. It had been part of the collection of Doctor Philip Nelson, Liverpool. Bell oversaw renovations at Bristol Cathedral during the period 1846-1876.
