I remember seeing it there about 15 years ago.

I found this item, in a strip called 'London is Stranger than Fiction'
n the London 'Evening News' of 25 January 1950.  Is the bell still
here?
"The Bell of Doom [drawing]
Once the ringing of this simple handbell, now resting harmlessly in St
epulchre's Church, Holborn Viaduct, spelt doom for hundreds of
ersons.
A certain Robert Dowe left a sum of money for it to be rung outside
he condemned cell of Newgate on the night before every execution."
