[Bell Historians] Brompton Cemetery

[Chris Pickford]

When I looked at the enlarged photo, I thought 1841 (not 1847). No, not 
on my lists - although I do have a note of a smaller bell (3 cwt) 
supplied in 1840. The one in the picture looks a fair bit bigger - and 
an indication of the actual size would be helpful

But this bell is far more famous than just an 1840s Mears bell. It 
featured in Michael Uphill's /Tales from the London County Crypt/ 
(illustrated on p.61 of the book)
