[Bell Historians] Trafalgar Square

[David Cawley]

What a curious reply. How long have I known Nigel Taylor and he can't spell 
my surname!

Second, I was not present at the try-out of St Dunstan-in-the-East in 1953 
(when I would have been 8 or 9 years old). It was taken in 1966 when we rang 
all eight bells for the first time since 1953.

Perhaps NST knows something about the circumstances in London following the 
installation of his namesakes' bells that I don't..?
