There are a couple of Gas Accumulator Company's Bells (M&S) in Jersey,, full details and a picture to be found on pages 40 and 41 of my "Church Bells of the Channel Islands (2007).. 

 

The late Bill Hughes told me that they had supplied a number of these Bells, usually as alternatives to Trinity House.

 

 

Could anyone please explain the nature of this company's interest in bells?

The Gas Accumulator Company supplied acetylene lights for Trinity House lighthouses and marker buoys, so presumably they also sold the buoys complete with bell to TH.
