<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wilson is an obvious candidate, especially since
the musical sequence of the bells was "odd". It is clear from a study of the
Wilson records that they cast bells by size and that the "note" was a matter of
chance. Unfortunately the Wilson records for this period (around 1889) are
missing.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Llewellins & James did a fair amount of
business in Scotland in the 1880s, and the bells could have been by Warners or
one of the Birmingham founders (Barwell, Blews or Carr). </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Strangely, when compiling this I had assumed that
the 1889 work was also Gillett's; but Chris raises a query. The only
Scots founder at the time able to cast a set of bells would have been John C
Wilson of Glasgow. But then it also needs checking against the (several)
English founders at the time Gillett (& whoever in 1889, probably Co)
amongst them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On George's "obvious question" it would be very
good to check out all these things, but as I said in my previous posting, they
were all destroyed in the 1948 fire.</FONT></DIV>
