This site is maintained by Dickon Love as a place to record his research into belfry archaeology and history in the City of Westminster. Information comes from many sources, and Dickon is grateful to all those who have contributed to this research, particularly Chris Pickford, David Cawley, the Whitechapel Bell Foundry and John Taylor Bellfounders. It aims to cover all bells in the City of London, both extant and those lost to history. Any corrections, comments,
additions or observations would be gratefully received. |
