[Bell Historians] george banks of kennington

[oliver Lee]

After ringing for a wedding yesterday at erith in kent I had a brief look at the bells with my friend max ganesh, as they  where augmented by Mears and stainbank in 1882 I initially assumed that the frame and fittings where by them but according to a contemporary report in the bell news these seem to have been the work of One George banks from Kennington, clearly he seems to have been a pretty competent ringer (ringing in the first peal at erith  with the Cumberlands) but I have never heard his name mentioned in connection with bellhanging and I would be  interested to see if anyone can perhaps shed some light on him and if he did any other apart from this one?
Regards
Oliver lee
