[Bell Historians] The Linthorpe ring that never was

[Paul Cubitt]

I wish I had known that when I was vicar at Elloughton. 2001-2007.

  According to David Bryant's notes on the bells of York, the six bells from Christ Church (or Holy Trinity), York, were actually retuned at Loughborough in readiness, and two trebles were cast to make eight. In the end - to cut a long story short - the front three bells of the original six were scrapped in 1973, the metal being used towards the new ring of six at Elloughton, near Hull. The back three bells went to the Carmelite Order at Hazlewood Castle near Tadcaster, from where they were eventually rescued by David Potter. The bells are currently the property of the Trustees of the York Bell Fund.

  What happened to the six recycled bells which were intended to go into this tower that was never built?
