“Erected at Christmas 1890. Rev. Buchanan Blake, B.D.

Clydebank Hamilton Memorial; The bell that was
supposed to have gone to Italy was the one cast for
Clydebank Hamilton Memorial Church in Dec. 1890, 35",
8-0-20. It did not go to Italy. It has now turned up
at Whaley Hall, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, apparently,
though I've not yet seen it. I've <span

church secretary of present Clydebank Church, and

Foulds – message to John Greenhough, Oct 2010); The
fine gothic building of 1884 with its tall spire still
stands in Glasgow Road, Clydebank, but ecclesiastical
use ceased in the 1980s and the building has been
vacant and deteriorating ever since. The bell was sold
to Fr. Jamie McLeod in 2007, and is now hung for swing
chiming at Whaley Hall, Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire. The
inscription is:- ERECTED AT CHRISTMAS 1890 REV:
BUCHANAN BLAKE B.D. MINISTER JOHN C. WILSON & Co.,
FOUNDERS, GLASGOW (Information, MF, Fr. Jamie Macleod,
Peter Hayward))<o:p></o:p></span></p>
