[Bell Historians] St George, Douglas - old bells

[Andrew Higson]

It was intended more as a challenge rather than a need to know - I know
where it is, just seeing how good the network was!

Just a little more information from RWMC's inspection notes of 1978:

32 3/16" diameter 2 1/4" thick 6-2-4
977; 730; 580; 485; 244 Hz = B-0.20
(Crown) 237
(MG) JOHN TAYLOR & CO. * FOUNDERS * LOUGHBOROUGH * 1958 *

I don't know whether it's a crook number or a job number on the crown.
It 
was hung for full-circle ringing in a softwood frame of c1850.

For the record, there were also ten tubular chimes which I saw just
before 
removal; one of the larger sets I have seen,  the tenor being 8 feet
long. 
They were going to Kirk Christ, Lezayre, to replace their six tubes, but
I 
don't know if they were hung.

There was also in St George's church, when I visited in 1998,  a small
bell 
from All Saints, Douglas 15 5/8" diameter, inscribed on the waist:
          LLEWELLINS / & / JAMES / BRISTOL
which I hope survives. C1900 with peg argent.
