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?
