The old second bell was inscribed:
MEARS AND STAINBANK, FOUNDERS, LONDON, 1908
WE PRAISE THEE, O GOD
on the reverse
DAY
HUNG
US
(The bell-hangers were from Eye, hence the eye symbol, “Day of Eye hung us”.)
The new second bell is inscribed:
IN MEMORY OF
GEOFFREY SPENCER ROBERTS
1941 – 2005
LYNN AND STORM ROBERTS
It is wonderful to see all the old and new bells together. I think it very important that we remember the inscriptions on the old bells as well as seeing the inscriptions on the new ones.
Well done!
