<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This is the John S Goldsmith Memorial Bell, which
was presented when the first part of the Cathedral was being built; it was hung
for chiming in the turret at the east end when the Lady Chapel was being
built in the 1960's. Cast at Whitechapel. There is a photograph of it on the
back cover of the Golden Jubilee issue; the inscription reads THIS BELL IS GIVEN
BY THE GUILDFORD / DIOCESAN ASSOCIATION OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS / AS A
MEMORIAL TO THEIR FIRST CHAIRMAN / JOHN SPARKES GOLDSMITH. / WHO DIED 1ST JUNE
1943. This reading is taken from the rather grainy picture so is O&OE and
does not include any Foundry data there will be - no doubt the Whitechapel
Foundry would oblige; and perhaps the Editor can tell us a bit more about
his great predecessor's memorial bell.</FONT></DIV>

<P>When I rang here for the first time last Sunday I noticed that there was a
service/sanctus bell in a bell cote on the north site of the west end of the
church. <A
