<div><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></FONT>The following clip may be of interest to members of this list. Dutch bellfounder Simeon Laudy recently cast a bell in Utrecht city centre - what a fantastic welcome for a new bell!

<div>I have heard about similar ceremonies to herald the arrival of a new bell - but is there any documentary evidence of similar events happening in the UK? I know that a number of itinerant bellfounders cast bells in churchyards or even churches!</div>
