John Scott in his Towers & Bells of Devon  records that there was a carillon 
by Gillett in the stable yard of Rousdon  House. Does anyone have details of 
the bells and what happened to  them?

All I can tell you is that they were removed sometime in the 1970's  or 80's. 
I managed to get up and see the bell in the redundant C of E church at  
Rousdon, whilst I was rehanging the 3 at nearby Combpyne. The Combpyne PCC  were 
hoping to get the Rousdon bell out, and use it to augment their chime of 3.  It 
would have fitted without tuning, but getting it out was practically  
impossible!
 
Cheers,
