<p>I’ve also had a look at the records. There was a bell from Hannington Ltd, Brighton, #6689 tuned 1949, 17.5 inches, that was acquired by Keltek, but I can’t imagine an ecclesiastical inscription would be put on a clock bell for a private company.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I wonder if the police have read the “1940” properly. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p>I assume none of the Dewsbury Moor bells have gone missing.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>I’ve looked through the spreadsheet version of the index and can’t find any matching bell tuned in 1949 (or 1950). Very surprised there’s no serial number – bells of this date almost invariably (exceptions ARE possible, of course), have them. I wonder if
it’s worth the police having a closer look?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>I've spoken to the police and there isn't a serial number on it but it carries the date 1949 along with the shield G&J used at the time and measures 17.8 inches in diameter. <u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p>I've got someone who has access to the G&J records to have a look but won't be till this evening, so if anyone can add anything in the meantime please do!<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>I don’t think I can add much to what has been said on Facebook but (a) it’s a Gillett & Johnston product and (b) the inscription suggests that it may have been cast for a Roman Catholic church or school. It certainly isn’t a stock bell.<u></u><u></u></p>
