As soon as i saw the headstocks I though GILLETTS. I checked Dove and sure enough they are G&J I think Gilletts made beautiful bells. This must be one of the last bells cast, im not sure when they stopped casting bells, i thought it was around 1950, but these are 1954
These were their last complete ring, and what a masterpiece it was. The only thing that let them down now is that they were rehung by E&S which makes them slow turning and they are a bit quiet in the ringing room but otherwise very ringable and lovely sounding
@RingerLuca651 I looked at Gilletts and if this was indeed the last change ringing peal they cast their last bells in 1957 either as clock or Carillon bells. Very sad they stopped as they made very lovely sounding bells
@@RingerLuca651 Gilletts hanging was just as crap. It would seem that they replaced crap with crap! But they certainly are a good sounding ring and no doubt worth the effort!
@@railtransportvlogsnsw7775 My dad was a bell hanger for Whitechapel till 1972 when we came to Aus. Did few jobs here Hung St Mary's Cathedral in 1986 also took out the old 6 at Parramatta, they were sent back to Whitechapel, returned and two trebles added to make an 8

@@RingerLuca651 I never did, also steel bells are terrible sounding.
