1 Bell
The bell was cast by John Warner & Sons Ltd of Cripplegate, when Robert Warner was master founder.
It was cast with a Doncaster canon and an inscription with the foundry name. It was moulded from loam, and the letters were stamped into the cope. One of the canons has broken away but the rest are intact.
The bell isn't listed anywhere in Elphick's book, so it most likely came off a boat.
All inscription is around the inscription band with nothing is on the waist.
