<P>There are conflicting details to hand as regard to the founder of the 5
<BR>bells in Thurnham RC church. Can anyone confirm the name of the
<BR>founder, date of casting and any other details. Particularly were they
<BR>the first ring of bells cast by J Taylor working alone, probably in
<BR>1847 or 1848?<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Mike Chester<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE>
