[Bell Historians] Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and the Royal Martyrs, Gunnersbury

[Carl S Zimmerman]

Contact information for the building with these bells can be found here:    http://www.russianchurchlondon.org/en/which has a photo of the belfry side of the building on the home page.  There's also a page with a map of the location.

The page at London Church Buildings has the name wrong; it's actually the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God and the Holy Royal Martyrs.  But that error may have made it easier to find the PDF of the newsletter of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God, which is in SW7.  Oddly, that newsletter makes the same error about the name of the Chiswick building that was being dedicated, and where the bells are actually located.  Unfortunately, there is no contact information for London Church Buildings except for leaving a public comment.

  David Sloman has alerted me to this chime of 9 bells.  They must be Russian in origin, looking at them. Does anyone have any further details of them, please?

|  | Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and the Royal Martyrs, Harvard Road, Gunnersbury (Russian Orthodox Church Abroad) « London Churches in photographsAbove the railway cutting south of Gunnersbury Station. The cathedral was built in 1999 in the grounds of a house that had previously been used for worship. The Russian Orthodox Church Abroad is a separate body from the state approved Russian Orthodox Church whose Cathedral is in Kensington. …londonchurchbuildings.com |

In trying to find details of the bells I came across a newsletter from Cathedral of Dormition of the Mother of God in Knightsbridge.  Start at page 6.

It shows the blessing of some new bells, I assume for this Cathedral, once All Saints Church.  It has/had a single bells, 2-0-4, cast in 1849 by C & G  Mears. Can anyone confirm details of these bells too?

Thanks
