[Bell Historians] Antique Bronze Church Bell - Antique Bronze Church Bell

[Peter Kirby]

And what of the other two bells in the background of the picture?

 

When I visited Andy Thornton’s some years ago (possibly in 2001) there was a
Warner bell inside the building again at an extortionate price!

 

He is based in Halifax so there is a good chance that these have come from
the Yorkshire / Lancashire area but can anyone else shed any light on their
previous homes?

I think Andrew Aspland drew attention to this bell back in 2003 (I'm
assuming it is the same one - in which case it's dated 1868) - I certainly
made a note of it from a posting at about that time. Looks like it's not
selling at that price!

 

Quite intrigued to note the Taylor type angular canons on this early Blews
bell, although it's the Blews gothic lettering and by 1868 they were casting
their own bells

Blews, I see, so about 5-cwt and as you say very expensive.
