[Bell Historians] FW: FW: St Mark's Old Leeds Road, Huddersfield

A note from Dennis Greenwood:

 

 

I have a hand written note in my own Wakefield book which reads: "Hudds, S. Mark. Whitechapel 1872 (?) Dia 27 ins 4-3-11." I can't now remember who sent me this info. 

I only visited churches listed in the Diocesan Directory, which I didn't get until sometime after I began my survey so perhaps perhaps St. Mark's was no longer listed by then. 

Best Wishes,

Dennis.

All

 

The following Wikipedia link mentions the bell as cast by Mears and Stainbank in, possibly, 1887. In addition there are pictures of the Church. The article states that "The church was closed for services and deconsecrated by the Church of England on 1 November 1997" which considering that Greenwood's Wakefield book was published in 1995 it seems strange that he didn't include it.

Hello

Does anyone have any information about the bell at St Mark's Huddersfield (Old Leeds Road)? The Church is now an office building and I noticed the bell from the ring road.

It is currently sitting on the floor of the bellcote but looks in very good condition. Trying to contact the owners of the building with not much luck as it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up disappearing.

Regards

Oliver
