[Bell Historians] Greenock

[A Willis]

I found the following in 'Wiltshire Notes and Queries', vol I (1893 - 5).
Does this bell still exist, and who cast it? The writer suggests Roger
Purdue.

A writer in 'Scottish Antiquity' (April 1893) ...the bell originally hung
in the original parish church [and was transferred] to the new [one] where
it still [is chimed]. Its dimensions are 18" in length; 12" in
circumference at the apex; about 4'6" at the mouth...the inscription is FOR
THE CHURCH AT GRINOCK 1677 RP three bells in a triangle VIVOS VOCO MORTUOS
PLANGO.
