[Bell Historians] brentwood cathedral bells

[Phil Watts]

Given the time of year, the inscriptions present an interesting combination of seasons - the voice crying in the wilderness- very much an Advent message (and also John’s ministry at the Jordan);
and “the Great Commission” from the eve of Ascension, and actually spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ, not Gabriel (though to be fair Gabriel is a messenger).

>> according to the taking stock website there is supposedly an 1861 angelus bell and another larger bell cast in 1991 when the cathedral was rebuilt by quinlan terry, I have been unable to find details about either so it would be interesting to know if anyone has any details of their inscriptions or indeed how they are hung.
