I have a notion that the ring of 8 at  Kingsbury in London was cast by a 
founder whose main business was organ  building 


Another Lewis casting is the 12 at the Catholic Church in Roehampton SW  
London . The bells are hung in a curious looking structure vaguely looking like  a 
Swiss Chalet . They are sounded from a keyboard either attached to or next to 
 the organ . i had the pleasure of sounding out a few well known tunes on 
them  some years ago .
