<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was a complex period in the history of
bellfounding at Whitechapel and in London - with several bankruptices,
fall-outs, etc. Here's a summary, taken from the article I did for the RW some
time ago on Edward Simmons, the bellhanger. Have researched this in quite a bit
more depth than the summary shown here, but this should update and "rewrite" the
histories that have appeared in other places.</FONT></DIV>

</SPAN>It should perhaps be stressed that the period between 1775 and 1790 was a
troubled time at Whitechapel. Although the foundry has an unbroken history of
bellfounding, the ownership of the premises and management of the foundry were
not always in the same hands. At times this caused complications, and one
doesn't have to read too deeply between the lines to see that there was bitter
rivalry between the "key players" at this time. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

characteristic of the Whitechapel foundry in mouldings and shape, Patrick's
bells are usually inscribed in a different set of lettering. His address is
given as "86 Cornhill and Whitechapel" in 1784 directory. He took out insurance
on a house at 9 Little Alice Street, Goodman's Fields, in September 1784. He was
declared bankrupt in 1785 - one of his creditors being James <B>Exeter</B> of
Whitechapel. Number <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">10 Fieldgate

St.Martin's Birmingham in October 1786, but this is the only known reference to
him either as a College Youth or, indeed, as a ringer. Patrick is last heard of
in 1787 and attempts to discover his later whereabouts and date of death have so
far been unsuccessful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

</SPAN>As an example of the web of interrelationships between the parties
involved, it is worth citing the tenor at St.Giles, Cripplegate which was recast
in 1787. The Vestry minutes indicate that the contract was awarded to John
Warner, whose name appears on the bell as "contractor". The inscription names
Robert Patrick as "founder", and details of the bell are given in the
Whitechapel foundry records implying that it was actually cast there. Similarly,
the six bells at Gwennap, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Cornwall</st1:place></st1:City>, were ordered from Warner. Dated 1786,
they are inscribed in Patrick's lettering, but evidently cast by Mears at
Whitechapel where full details are recorded in the books. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
