[Bell Historians] Brompton Cemetery

[Chris Pickford]

Don't know what happened there (I certianly didn't send a blank 
posting). This is what I sent:

When I looked at the enlarged photo, I thought 1841 (not 1847) - just 
checked again, and still do. 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)
