[Bell Historians] Bell-historians Digest, Vol 44, Issue 1

[Kye Leaver]

I haven't seen either of these bells in person but would very much like to.
The letters and numbers are very similar to those I've seen at Chuchester
Cathedral, especially on their 3rd and 7th by John Wallis.
He used quite heavy letter. Although, so did R Beconsall who was casting
bells around that time too.
Would be great to collect some photos of the Newchurch and Arreton bells
and various measurements.
Best wishes,
Kye.
