From Essex to New Hampshire.

[manxringer]

There use to be a bell hung for full circle ringing sitting in a H 
frame in the church yard of the Roman Catholic Church in Fox Street, 
Liverpool 3 (just off St Annes Street).  I beleive that this bell 
was about 8cwt. I know it has been there in the past 10 years.

Any Liverpool based member of this list know if this bell is still 
there?
