[Bell Historians] hever kent

[David Sloman]

I haven't any further information on the church bells but apparently
Smith's of Clerkenwell  provided 5 clock bells, cast by Mears & Stainbank
c1907 to Hever Castle. I understand that they are not there now.

Would appreciate any information concerning their fate.
