There was also a conventional bell there of some 18 inches diameter by (I think) Robert Ford, dated 1695 which allegedly had come from a churh in the Leeds area. It had supposedly replaced an earlier 1746 Luke Ashton of Wigan bell (According to the churchwarden). I wrote a brief article about the Formby installation for the RW, which was published around 1995, in which I asked if any Leeds area bell experts could shed any light. Nothing emerged. Possibly no connection with Fletchertown, but you never know...</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3330" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3329" dir="ltr">Bryan McCahey<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3261" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3262" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2902"><span></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2903" class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2908" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2907" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2906" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2905" dir="ltr"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2904" face="Arial" size="2"> <hr id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3117" size="1"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3119"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3118" style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "'Peter Rivet' peter@plrivet.plus.com [bellhistorians]" <bellhistorians@yahoogroups.com><br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3121"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3120" style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> bellhistorians@yahoogroups.com <br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3425"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3424" style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, March 4, 2016 3:42 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> RE: [Bell Historians] 17th century bell from All Hallows Old Church, Cumbria<br> </font> </div> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2970" class="y_msg_container"><br><div id="yiv6737157013"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_2973">

In the belfry there is an 17th century bell cast by William Scott and dated 1687. This is one of two such bells that were at the old church. They were taken by a builder in 1936 in part payment for work undertaken to make safe the ruins of the old church. One bell was sold to a chapel nearby and the other was sold to a dealer in Leeds. When the chapel closed, the bell was returned to All Hallows and now sits in the belfry. It is planned to restore this bell (and its partner if it can be found) for ringing when the new ring is intalled.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3040">The question is .... does anyone know of the whereabouts of the bell that was sold in Leeds or how to set about tracing it?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457138452170_3041">Ron East </div></div><div><div class="yiv6737157013MsoNormal"><span style="color:white;"></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>
