[Bell Historians] Re: Oldest Christian Bell

[George Dawson]

'Bells in England' by Tom Ingram claims that the church has used bells for
1,500 years; initially the 'cowbell' type. Large bells in towers must have
been around by the 7th century as the Venerable Bede heard the bells tolling
at Whitby for Abbess Hilda on her death in 680.
