<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>On 21st November Alan Buswell wondered if the
Gillett & Johnston bell was the one from Epsom Mental Hospital. No.
1655.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The Keltek Trust purchased the bell for
substantially less than the asking price and I collected it on Friday.
Subsequent correspondence with Alan and comparison of the tonals, weight and
diameter suggest that this is the one supplied to Epsom Mental Hospital.
Unusually the four digit reference number cast on most G&J bells is not
present on this casting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The bell is now on offer to a church in Merseyside
where it might be incorporated into a light ring of bells.</FONT></DIV>
