bell inscribed “Anno Domini 1624”. GAD’s NBR spreadsheet agrees, adding that
the founders are William & Alice Brend. L’Estrange says that there were
previously three bells, weighing 10, 12 and 18 cwt. One was “split” and the
other “never used”, and were sol din 1780.<O></O></SPAN></FONT></P>

St Botolph Westwick, <ST1><ST1>Norfolk</ST1></ST1><BR><BR>Dear Sir,<BR><BR>I
have found your very interesting site.<BR><BR>I wondered if perhaps you could
suggest where to start looking about the <BR><ST1><ST1>Bell</ST1></ST1> which
hangs in our church?<BR><BR>The tower is a fine one and I would have thought
that originally it could / <BR>would have held more bells than the single one
we have.<BR><BR>I am a very new church warden and do not know where to start -
I have yet to <BR>explore the tower!<BR><BR>The bell was restored a few years
back and we get it swinging and it tolls <BR>for our services.<BR><BR>Weswick
is a very small parish (56 adults on the Parliamentary Electoral <BR>Roll) and
only 4 of us on the church roll - so any help information would be
<BR>received very gratefully.<BR><BR>Many thanks for your time.<BR><BR>Kind
regards<BR>Chris<BR><BR>Chris Sanham<BR>Church Warden<BR>St Botolph Westwick
