Dear All,<br>
<br>
I am researching a bell in our tower that was dated 5189 and possibly is linked to a bell in another local church with the same date and similar lettering. I have a tracing of the letters for both bells and suggestions as to the founder but thought I would
contact you as well as do some local research. I do not have access to the towers to determine bell shape however I do have a photograph of the tracing courtesy of a handwritten journal by John Whitehead held by County Records office.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Cathy Lewis<br>
