<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was clearing out my old emails when I came across
the one below, the old Youlgreave tenor as recorded by Kimber is by Heathcote
rather than PH( PH cast the four of five-see top line of p.292 CB of
Derbyshire) The weight and size fit for the Clitheroe bell. Have you had
any details from John Greenhough of the inscription of the Clitheroe bell.

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I would be very interested to know if it did come
from Youlgreave.</FONT></DIV>

Nick<BR>><BR><BR>Indeed a very interesting find.<BR><BR>A few months
earlier, John Greenhough discov ered an unhung bell cast in 1828, at
Chipping (Lancs) RC. Off list discussion has suggested that the Chipping
bell (one of two unhung bells) may have been cast in Wigan.<BR><BR>I turned
up an unhung bell at Brindle, RC Church at the same time-also cast in 1828.
This one is cast in brass and is 15" diameter.<BR><BR>The interesting thing
about the Brindle bell, is that it was cast by J Lindsay & Co, Canal
Foundry, Preston, Lancs. That Foundry appears to be trading under the name
of Stevenson & Co by the 1830s.<BR><BR>There is a bronze bell from the
Canal foundry (also found by John), at Withnell, Lancs. Stevenson & Co
cast two bronze bells in 1835 as replacements for a ring which was at
Leyland, St Andrew.<BR><BR>Gillett and Johnston recast that ring in 1929.
But the fact that the Stevenson & co bells at Leyland were in existance
for over ninety years is remarkable. It would take a lot of effort in the
1800's for a company who didn't cast bells as part of a ring/chime as part
of thier normal business, to cast two bells as part of a ring.<BR><BR>There
is/was a bell from the Canal Foundry up in Rothesy, Scotland, I
understand.<BR><BR>But I wonder how many bells there are in existance cast
by that foundry, and how many were cast in bronze? It could be that the
foundry only cast bells when asked to, in addition to their main business,
or that they tried unsuccesfully, to break into the market as
bellfounders.<BR><BR>Alan<O></O></P></DIV>
