[Bell Historians] Lost Wax Taylor bells

Sun Aug 18 22:37:57 BST 2002

As far as Surfleet goes, bells 3 - 6 are definitely
lost wax; effigies can be seen on the waists of the
bells in photographs on the 12s site. As David says,
we're not sure about the 2 trebles of 12 - these may
well not be lost wax castings, though it is
interesting to note that they were cast complete with
flange tops.

As is well known, Taylor's produced a number of bells
using the lost wax 
method of moulding, which permits more ornamentation,
during the later 19th 
and earlier twentieth century. I've never seen a list
of where these are, 
but they're pretty easy to spot so I wonder if readers
can think of any 
oother than those I know of. Those so far: 
 
Lincoln Cathedral 1-4 of 12, 1927 
Loughborough Parish Church 7-10 of 10 (9th much
pictured in books), 1899 
Surfleet, 1 and 2 of12, 1932 (not sure about
these). 
 
There must be some more!
