[Bell Historians] St John the Divine Cathedral, St John's, Antigua

[Dickon Love]

Thank you George. I suspect that the Mears bell will be gone as it was in the old cathedral, but it is possible that it was salvaged and reused.

The north west tower has 14 bells by Van Bergen in 1956, the south west tower has 2 old bells.

My Mears catalogue (c1895) says a single bell of 1840, 13 cwt.

We visited the Cathedral of St John the Divine in the Capital City of Antigua & Barbuda (St John) today. It was sadly closed as renovation work is ongoing. The present building dates from 1845 although there have been previous churches on this spot damaged by earthquake. Does anyone know about bells that have been supplied here?
