<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bell is completely plain with no markings at
all and is about 18 inches-2 ft in diameter (a very rough estimate). As far as I
understand, the bell was brought to St. Budeaux Foundation School by a previous
Headteacher who worships at Plymouth Emmanuel church, a neighbouring parish that
has, I presume, taken over the parish of St. Augustine. There is nothing in the
school to confirm or deny that the bell originally came from
Volage. </FONT></DIV>

Can you confirm that the bell is the former bell from the
cruiser " Volage", and is the bell inscribed? Would also be interested to know
its size.</FONT></DIV>

<P>An update for John Scott's excellent 'Towers and Bells of Devon' for
<BR>anyone interested. John mentions that St. Augustine's, Plymouth was
<BR>demolished in 2001 'and the bell has gone'.<BR>This bell is now hanging
in St. Budeaux Foundation CE Junior School and <BR>is chimed by children and
staff when they join and leave the school. It <BR>is hung for swinging on
bearings with the rope attached to a short <BR>lever.<BR><BR>David
