Does  anyone have a decent picture of the big bell at Downside Abbey  please?


Several - what sort of angle? It's quite hard to photograph it in the  tower. 
I have some old ones of it in the foundry (Thanks to NOS), outside  Beverley 
Minster and also outside Downside. I have seen anothe of it being  unlodaed at 
Chilcompton Station in 1903, before being hauld over the fields  using horses 
and a large cart!
