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?
