[Bell Historians] Stratford, St. John

[David Sloman]

Stratford St. John has 3 clock bells by Thomas Mears 11 1835, the hour bell is hung for full circle ringing but is very unringable. I didn't know they had a recording.

  I happened to be working in Stratford, East London today and during lunch was drawn to the sound of bells coming from St. John's church.  I stood for a few minutes and enjoyed the ringing, almost considering popping in to see if I could get a grab, and then headed back to work.

  Checking on Dove this evening, and it would seem that there are no bells there!  I'm not normally easily misled, but am I to understand that they were playing a recording of bells from the tower?  Does anyone know if this is a frequent occurrence?  Were there ever any bells there?

  Thanks,
  Doug.
