<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span>Peter Trent on July 17th 2011 :<br class="yui-cursor"></span></span><div><span style="font-weight:bold;"><font face="Arial" size="2">I was shown today a "Sanctus" bell today found in a
cupboard at a local church. It is of bell metal about 8" in height with a ball
and chain clapper and an argent complete with square section hanging
bar about 15" long. It has the initials ZASM </font></span></div><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:TTE1C30870t00;FONT-SIZE:9pt;"><font face="Times New Roman">(ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE SPOORWEG </font></span><span style="FONT-FAMILY:TTE1C30870t00;FONT-SIZE:9pt;"><font face="Times New Roman">MAATSKAPIJ) </font></span>upon it. A little
internet research suggests that this has South African railway connections. Can
anyone enlighten me further as to which foundry produced such items or
even why it should end up in rural Norfolk? The internet found the
following catalogue reference for an auction in 2010.........</span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><br><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><span><span>I have lost Peter Trent's email address so cannot ask this directly<span>, hence the list post. In 2011 I supplied Peter with information from South African Railways that the bell had been stolen from a platform display at Johannesburg Railway Station. How it got to Norfolk is a mystery. Their recommendation was that it not be returned, as items are no longer safe in South African museums, but that should it be possible then they suggested the bell go to the York Railway Museum.</span></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><br><span><span></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><span><span>I am reminded</span></span><span> of this by a facebook post this morning from ringers visiting the York Museum, and would like to know what became of the bell. I would be perfectly happy to take this forward with the church myself if Peter does not wish to. </span><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><br><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN:0cm 0cm 0pt;" class="ygrps-yiv-101867131MsoNormal"><span>If Peter is on the list then perhaps he could reply.
