[Bell Historians] Jarrow Grange, Christ Church

[Chris Pickford]

It was recast in 1919. The original treble was noted as "too flat"

 

The original bell was 30" 5-3-13 (1919 scrapping weight 5-3-6) - so it was
NOT the same as the present bell

 

The present bell is 28" 4-1-25. It has no special inscription (but the
foundry records no not indicate exactly what was put on the new bell)

 

The diameters of the three trebles are shown in the foundry records as 25",
26" and 28" (Dove currently shows 25.38", 26" and 28.13")

Dove and GAD's Bell Register currently has the 3rd bell at Jarrow Grange as
being 1919 Taylors.  Every reference I can find has it as 1882.

 

A ring of 6 was installed in 1882 and were pealed as such in 1905.  Peter
Rivet's booklet has its inscription as being just the founder and date,
1882, and all references I can find talk about two trebles being added in
1919. I have not found anything to suggest that the treble was
recast/replaced.  Howard Smith tells me that the bell of 1882 has exactly
the same weight recorded as the bell said to be from 1919 - though this
might just be a strange coincidence.  

 

Does anyone have definitive information as to the date of this bell, please?

 

Mike
