[Bell Historians] Identification requested

[Andrew Higson]

Without spending too much time on it, it looks as though we provided
fittings for the 5 bells, recast the tenor and supplied various bits of
steel etc to strengthen the frame. The work was ordered by G&J (clocks)
Ltd. rather than the previous company (readers will be aware that
companies occasionally have to change their names!?) The last bell
supplied to the G&J that we all know love and copy was for East Lansing
College and that was in 1957. We also supplied a chime of bells to G&J
(clocks) ltd in 1961 to go to Warwick, Queensland, so not the last one
with G&J name on it.

The treble at Haslingfield is by Whitechapel, 1969; it was added within
the existing frame. I don't have a weight for it.

(Incidentally - although this might have been discussed before - there
is a photograph in the ringing chamber at Haslingfield, showing the
present tenor. Its inscription shows its original date as 1816, and adds
that it was recast in 1960 for Gillett & Johnston by John Taylor & Co.
This must surely one of the very last bells to bear Gillett & Johnston's
name?)

But is the bell from 1969 or just a re-hang?
