St. Mary's, Oatlands Park, Surrey

[editor at r...]

I remember reading somewhere that the bells (12cwt Warner 8) at St. Mary's, 
Oatlands Park in Surrey were originally cast for use at the 'Delhi Durbar' 
- the enthronement ceremony of King George V as Emperor of India in 1911.

There was some problem and the bells never made it to India - I believe 
they were then bought by a London showman and used for a year or two in 
various live performances (possibly at Earls Court or Olympia). The Vicar 
of Oatlands Park apparently went to one of these shows and made a 
successful bid for the bells when it closed.

Does anyone have further information or references on this story please?
