Bells on ebay

[David & Mary Kelly]

On 21st November Alan Buswell wondered if the Gillett & Johnston bell was the one from Epsom Mental Hospital. No. 1655.

The Keltek Trust purchased the bell for substantially less than the asking price and I collected it on Friday. Subsequent correspondence with Alan and comparison of the tonals, weight and diameter suggest that this is the one supplied to Epsom Mental Hospital. Unusually the four digit reference number cast on most G&J bells is not present on this casting.

The bell is now on offer to a church in Merseyside where it might be incorporated into a light ring of bells.
