Thanks to Nigel Taylor and Andrew Higson for posting the extra details on S=
t.James.
I had clearly muddled the 1846 entry for "St.James New Church" - actually H=
oly Trinity - with St.James itself. So the C. & G. Mears bells of 1845 (sup=
plied in June 1846 - 4-3-6 and 12-3-4) were actually for Holy Trinity as re=
corded by Walters.
The Mears bells at St.James would therefore appear to be those invoiced out=
on 7 Jan 1842 of 4-0-25 (presumably dated 1841 and by Thomas Mears II), an=
d (via Moore of Clerkenwell) on 30 May 1845 of 1-2-113/4 (presumably dated =
1845 and by C & G Mears). There are slight discrepancies of founder and dat=
e with the details provided by Nigel (who says both are of 1845 and by T.Me=
ars), but this looks like a better match between the records and what's sai=
d to be in the tower.
Anyone care to check and report back?
