[Bell Historians] Re: Conservationists

[David Bryant]

"At least with a "re-cast" ring of bells there are no illusions about it being anything other than a brand new instrument."
 
But I think there are, though. How many time do you come across statements in church guides along the lines of 'the oldest bell dates from 16??, with others of 17?? and 18??. The bells were all recast in 19?? by John Taylor & Co?
