<font face="Times New Roman">I tried to enhance the image but got
nothing. Could you ask the Friends if they have a copy of the
original photo? This image might have been shrunk to fit the
newsletter.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">This church is in the care of the Churches
Conservation Trust. Buried in the chancel is William Oughtred
who invented both the multiplication sign and the slide rule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The old bells in this tower were moved to
the new church in Albury when it was built. In 2008, a bell
was installed by the Friends of Albury Church. It can be seen
from the crossing, as the tower is open to the roof. The
secretary of the Friends at the time tells me ‘The bell which
now hangs in the church was just an unknown bell which was
found in one of the sheds at Albury Park Mansion! It was
thought that it might have been a bell which called the
workmen at mealtimes.’<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I attach a photo from a Friends newsletter.
There seems to be an inscription but I can’t read any of it.
The bell has nominal 1555.5Hz, note G, and I estimate very
roughly that it is 65cm in diameter and weighs around 200kg.
The hanging of the bell visible in the photo is most unusual!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any more details?<o:p></o:p></p>
