The seventh bell (14-2-0) at Chertsey is know as the "Armada bell" since
it was cast in 1588 (by Robert Mot).
Does anyone know if there a surge in bell casting in this year to
celebrate the defeat of the Spanish or is it simply a coincidence that
this bell happened to be cast in 1588?
Are the many 1588 bells still out there for that matter?
Many thanks
