[Bell Historians] Re: Quarr Abbey

[Andrew Higson]

If Alan were asking me to look in the records I would be able to tell him 
that we haven't been there. We corresponded with them in 1945 at which time 
they told us they had 4 bells cast by Leon Bollee of Le Mans in 1912. The 
largest was 2 tonnes note C and the others were F, G and A and were swung by 
hand. They were interested in having electric motors to swing them, but felt 
it was too expensive when they last wrote in 1958.

I hope that this is of help.
