[Bell Historians] RE: Burton Holy Trinity

[Steven Blakemore]

yes the original church was built in 1824 and was rebuilt in 1882 ish because of 
fire damage. The "new" church was originally supposed to have a ring of ten, but 
when on of the early Taylor's came over they ended up with the big bell.

The Goole bell is dated 1869, so pre-dates the Burton church - was there a 
previous church on the site?

And in answer to DLC's question, yes it does survive - now 15-2-8 and the tenor 
of the eight at Goole, the front seven having been cast by Taylor's in 1889. 
Alan Birney and I had a look at them and patched up the wheel shrouding on a few 
of them several years ago.
