[Bell Historians] Oldest bell in the UK

[jimhedgcock <jameshedgcock@h...>]

-Many years ago I went on a ringing tour in Yorkshire. At one church 
there was a bell on display that was supposed to have come from 
Fountains Abbey. I well remember convincing a very gullible young 
man that I had rung a peal on it. He is now an esteemed member of 
the Whitechapel Bell Foundry - I believe. He may also remember a 
magazine being taken from him because he was deemed too young to be 
viewing such items.
