<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>Last Sunday I went to look at a single bell at Altrincham (Cheshire) St
George, to advise on a 'broken rope'. The bell is 26.25" dia and had 6 canons,
of which one is broken off. The only inscription is:<BR><BR>BOWEN FOUNDERS
LONDON 1858<BR><BR>David Struckett's Dictionary list says he was casting in
Clerkenwell between 1846 and 1890. A quick glance through GAD's NBR shows 2
bells in the Diocese of London.<BR><BR>Has there been any more been published
on the foundry, please?<BR><BR>Pete Dyson<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BODY></HTML>
