<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Christ Church Victoria Street. Badly damaged WW2
and demolished in 1954. Site now the garden in front of St James' Park
Underground; the Church Bible used to be preserved in the Post Office part of
the complex.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was a bell by John Clifton of Whitechapel,
1639. It hung in the former Broadway Chapel which was succeded by Christ Church,
on the same site, in 1843, the tower being completed in 1904.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A new bell, 34" diameter, Gillett & Johnston
1934, weight 7-2-21, note B, was hung in the tower to replace the J Clifton
bell, which was placed on the church floor. A fine notice was put above it,
which was lettered by a former parishioner of mine in Dover; I inherited her
cash books giving details of the notice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After the bombing, the Clifton bell went to
the floor of St Peter, Eaton Square, and was subsequently stolen, so I am
told.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Christ Church also played host to a Church Arts
Exhibition in 1930, and a chime of eight, tenor 26 1/4", 3-3-6 in Eb, hung in a
steel frame and chimed by a clavier, was installed in the church (presumably at
ground level) by Mears & Stainbank. It was returned to the foundry after the
Exhibition and subsequently sold off (where?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>St Mary, Vincent Square (1841) was demolished
in 1925, and the site is now occupied by the Vicarage of St Stephen, Rochester
Row. </FONT> </DIV>

The slate louvres <BR>also look brand new. Unfortunately the exterior gate
was locked and I <BR>was unable to gain access to the interior or the
vicarage. The school <BR>was open but I deemed it to be intrusive to try
to gain access to the <BR>church by trying to attract attention there. I
am told that the church <BR>interior is amongst the most ornate in
<ST1><ST1>London</ST1></ST1>.<BR>I remember Alan Taylor indicating that
there might be some bell <BR>activity there once the restoration of the
church was completed. If <BR>this is the case, has any bell related work
been considered?<BR>Judging by the proximity of the neighbouring
