[Bell Historians] Edward VIII

[David Cawley]

MessageAnd Winchester

EDWARDI OCTAVI is still on the bell, with two horizontal  lines through it. 

Above is incised IAM GEORGI SEXTI

So it it not quite correct to claim Anstey tenor as the only one with Edward's name even though Winchester has been defaced / brought up-to-date.

    Like GD I'm aware of the odd case where George VI's name was substituted but not of any bells with Edward VIII's name on them.

    Although the subject is off-topic, if any one wants a complete list of Edward VIII pillar boxes (there are no lamp or wall boxes) one is available from the Letter Box Study Group.  We've got one of the large A size ones at Greaves on the soutrh side of Lancaster.

      No - but I can tell you where there is a pillar box with his name on it, if
      you are interested!

      And there's two post officers with his coat of arms, one here in Bradford,
      the other, I think, somewhere in East Anglia.
