[Bell Historians] Holy Trinity Burton On Trent

[David Cawley]

What is the connection, if any, between this bell and the 2-ton one? Did the large bell displace the 16cwt one? Is the latter still in existence?

  No information about the bell but Pevsner says that it was built in 1880 - 1882 and the architect was J Oldrid Scott. Church demolished in 1971. Described as large and ambitious the money coming from the Allsopp family. 



  I can remember the church as I drove into Burton!

  I have yet another query. Before 1969 there used to be a church called
  Holy Trinity (where the present Focus DIY is) around 1969/70 the church
  was pulled down. It was originally going to have a ring of 10 but It
  ended up with a 40cwt Tenor! I would like to know more about it and what
  happened to it. I assume it went back to the bell foundary and was
  melted down.

  Can any on enlighten me?
  The church was built in 1881/2 and had a 200 ft spire with a clock in
  the tower.
