Lea and Utley bell

[John David]

Sark Church has a ship’s bell inscribed

CAPETAN CHIOTIS

It has on top a partially illegible founder's name

.....BY LTD
RAINHILL

This is Utley Bros of Rainhill, Lancs, who cast maritime brassware at least 
till 1970. and are still going as
Utley PLC. They are stillcasting bells to the same design as used on the 
Titanic - I am not sure if this should be a recommendation
