If this is The Royal Chapel of St. John, Clouston gives the following
details.
Whitechapel Bell Foundry supplied a bell of 6 1/2cwts to The Royal
Chapel of St. John in 1849 when the present fabric was erected. This
bell was recast by the same foundry in 1922 and is now the present
hour bell of 6 3 25. In 1939 four bells to give quarter chimes
and a clock, were donated by William Henry Callister in memory of his
parents, brother and sister. The four bells are each inscribed J.B.
JOYCE & CO. LTD. WHITCHURCH, SALOP. 1939. This firm supplied the
clock, but the bells were cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry and
have weights 1 3 11, 2 3 1, 3 0 22, 5 0 10. The notes are B
A G and D.
