<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All Saints, Boughton Aluph.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. The bells were sold by the authority of a
Faculty. I have a copy of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The bells of Eastwell Church werre likewise sold
by the authority of a Faculty. I have a copy of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. The bells at each</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> were taken out in two successive weeks in 1952. The iron
frame at Eastwell was also taken out. The 3-bell section of the Boughton Aluph
frame was left and remains in situ. See the relevant towers on
kent.lovesguide.com </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. The words GABRIELIS and one canon from the
Boughton Aluph tenor were purchased by RWMC and now repose in the Canterbury
Heritage Museum (the old Pooor Priest's Hospital in Stour Street). Also there
are the William le Belyetere c1325 tenor of 3 ex Kingston (which Richard
will remember, with me, as being one of the most arch-derelict threes ever) and
the c1500 old tenor from the old St Mary Bredin, Canterbury (see my RW article
on the lost ring of Canterbury in the RW a few years ago, also in the 'articles'
section of lovesguide).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Some of the metal from the tenor was indeed used
by G&J to cast the little coronation bells, but the majorioty of it was -
with the other four and the Eastwell metal, used for the Aberdeen carillon.
I have documentary evidence for this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I said in my Christmas article this year "Hell
Fire Corner", there is to be a sequel, "Bomb Alley", which will deal with the
bells of Eastwell, Boughton Aluph and Challock which were neighbouring
casualties of the aftermath of war rather than the conflict itself. I now have
much more primary source material than was available to me in my 1982 article.
