[Bell Historians] Jarrow Grange, Christ Church

[Peter Rivet]

Unfortunately this is one of rings of bells I didn't get to see and I was
given the inscriptions on one of the survey sheets I sent out.  Looking at
the text of the D & N booklet there appears to be a misprint; "3-6" should
read "3-8".  My understanding is that was a heavy six augmented to 8, with
no recasting.

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
