Ref. Alan Hughes's RW article (4 May 2007, p.481), he says that their 
"last job of any significance" was a restoration/augmentation at St. 
Mary's, Addington, Surrey in January 1957. An 'informal epitaph' to 
that effect was scrawled by the hangers (Ralph Bird & Jack Nicholls) 
on the bell  chamber wall.

He also says that G&J ceased bell founding "some years earlier" 
(bells then cast at Loughborough) - but no details of the last ring 
cast at Croydon.  Alan Buswell would probably know.
