Did you know that All Saints Church in the North Norfolk village of Bristow, about 10 miles from Fakenham, has on display a metal cello made in 1700?

If that strikes a chord, on a smaller scale but associated with a bigger name, Bedford boasts a metal violin made by John Bunyan who in his youth worked as a tinker.
