I've also had a look at the records. There was a bell from Hannington Ltd, Brighton, #6689 tuned 1949, 17.5 inches, that was acquired by Keltek, but I can't imagine an ecclesiastical inscription would be put on a clock bell for a private company.



I wonder if the police have read the "1940" properly.



I assume none of the Dewsbury Moor bells have gone missing.

I've looked through the spreadsheet version of the index and can't find any matching bell tuned in 1949 (or 1950). Very surprised there's no serial number - bells of this date almost invariably (exceptions ARE possible, of course), have them. I wonder if it's worth the police having a closer look?

I've spoken to the police and there isn't a serial number on it but it carries the date 1949 along with the shield G&J used at the time and measures 17.8 inches in diameter.

I've got someone who has access to the G&J records to have a look but won't be till this evening, so if anyone can add anything in the meantime please do!

I don't think I can add much to what has been said on Facebook but (a) it's a Gillett & Johnston product and (b) the inscription suggests that it may have been cast for a Roman Catholic church or school.  It certainly isn't a stock bell.
