<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For some time I have understood Stavanger to have a
late Warner carillon, but have never managed to obtain definite confirmation or
to establish the date. Geoff Armitage first told me about it many years ago, but
I don't think that he ever managed to get access or obtain further
information. I did talk to him about it a couple of years ago just to
check whether he had ever found anything.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm pretty sure, though, that if these were
supplied by Warner then they weren't cast at Whitechapel - more likely to be a
Warner, but 1919-1921 when they were still casting. </FONT><FONT

1922-5, but all cast by either G&J (1922-3) or M&S (1924-5) - mostly

foundry closure</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John Warner & Sons Ltd officially closed as a
bell foundry in 1924. Thereafter they forwarded correspondence to other other
foundries, i.e. Mears & Stainbank and Taylors, principally though not
exclusively the latter. I think they were anxious to see that one or
other got the work rather than that G&J should benefit from their
departure. The last complete ring of 8 was Mangotsfield, 1921, recast
again 1993. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Llewellins & James effectively departed the
scene at the same time although there are some half-dozen bells by them
post-1925. As late as 1960 they even hung at St Paul, Hartcliffe,
Bristol, a bell they had cast in the 1880's for St Lawrence, Easton,
Bristol. It has since been rehung again by W B
F. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both firms remained in business for items other
than bells long after leaving the big three to
it. </FONT></DIV>
