Yes, theres a slot in it for donations.

>From memory I think I saw a steel bell at Beamish a few years ago. It was in
the entrance/exit walkway. It was some time ago, before I had an interest in
bells in fact, but from memory it looked like it was obviously heavily
corroded and had a very thick coat of paint on it.

There is another smaller bell on display at Beamish:
