<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In response to David's query:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Very briefly, the firm of Harrington, Latham &
Co began the production of tubular tower bells about 1887, just in time for
Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. Their firm was then situated at The Butts,
Coventry. They later removed to premises at Earlsdon Road Coventry, and about
1914 changed their name to Harrington, Holland & Co. The latest set of
theirs which I have located was put up in 1925 at Christ Church, Chatham,
Kent.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>From time to time, regular bell founders and
bellhangers have attended to such sets, and provided they are loked after they
can provide a reasonable qualithy of sound. Unfortunately such care is often
lacking. They can never replicate the sound of "proper" bells, but that is
no reason why they should not be cared for and used. I know that the present day
English bellfounders and bellhangers will give advice on receipt of a
serious enquiry.</FONT></DIV>
