You may already be aware of this. Mears and Stainbank was a former company/trading name for the Whitechapel Bell Foundry ("WBF"), see <a shape="rect" href="http://www.whitechapelbellfoundry.co.uk/Past.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.whitechapelbellfoundry.co.uk/Past.htm</a> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">and

When WBF closed the foundry in Whitechapel three years ago, they stated (see "Our records" at, <a shape="rect" id="ydp9cceffdyiv2676702273LPNoLP113114" href="http://www.whitechapelbellfoundry.co.uk/news.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.whitechapelbellfoundry.co.uk/news.htm</a> )</div>

that their archive was being transferred to the London Metropolitan Archives. </div>

</span><div>Could anyone discover the history of this bell, please? </div>
<div>It was hung outside St Aiden’s Church in Carlisle in 1901. The only inscription (no date) is ‘Mears and Stainbank’. It is 46<span>¾</span> inches in diameter and sounds the note Eb (633.5 Hz - 31 cents sharp). Weight about 16 cwt. </div>
<div>It may have been cast originally for Highmoor House in Wigton, Cumbria.</div>
