[Bell Historians] From Essex to New Hampshire.

[Philip Denton]

There is another one at Wix, also in Essex and close to Wrabness. I haven't seen it recently - I gather it is a modern (1975) rebuilding of the original C17 structure.

            I was browsing on the photographic website, "flickr" and came across 

these pictures which may be of interest. I expect the bells to be well 

known amongst historians but I was surprised to find that East Bergholt 

is not the only church with a wooden bell cage in the churchyard. 

Admittedly the one at Wrabness, Essex contains only one bell but it 

makes me wonder whether there may be still further examples of such 

cages. Does anyone on the list know? There is a link to a picture of the 

East Bergholt cage for comparison which shows clearly that the cages 

have rather little in common and are of very different ages. However 

there is only about ten miles between the two villages. Is there perhaps 

a local tradition of such cages?



The bell in Keene, NH seems to have hung for some years in the Baptist 

church but it is unclear whether it is still in use somewhere else now. 

It was the reference to its being cast by Paul revere of Boston that 

drew me to this, as he has been mentioned recently on the list.

Browsing for "bells, churches" brings up a huge number of pictures of 

which I have checked just a few pages.
