Hello Peter:

 

My name is Robert Davies. I am affiliated with St. Elizabeth's Memorial 
Chapel located in Eagle Valley, Tuxedo, New York located approximately 
one hour north west of Manhattan.

 

St. Elizabeth's was built by William and Juliet Pierpont Morgan (J.P. 
MORGAN'S daughter) Hamilton at the entrance to their estate in 1921 in 
memory of their daughter Elizabeth who died in the 1918 influenza 
epidemic at age 11.

 

I found a bell cast by the Bowen Foundary of London in the church's 
basement. I have no idea when or how it got there. The Chapel does have 
a much larger bell in the belfry. I will forward a photo of both to you. 
Not sure where the larger bell was cast. Any information on the Bowen 
Foundry would be greatly appreciated.
