<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John Scott in his Towers & Bells of Devon
records that there was a carillon by Gillett in the stable yard of Rousdon
House. Does anyone have details of the bells and what happened to
them?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>All I can tell you is that they were removed sometime in the 1970's
or 80's. I managed to get up and see the bell in the redundant C of E church at
Rousdon, whilst I was rehanging the 3 at nearby Combpyne. The Combpyne PCC
were hoping to get the Rousdon bell out, and use it to augment their chime of 3.
It would have fitted without tuning, but getting it out was practically
impossible!</DIV>
