Notes

[1]History of the bell

Originally the treble at St Annes on the Sea, Lancs. Removed in 2023. Set to be brought to Longworth as the second of the future 8 in 2024. Facilitated by the Keltek Trust.

[2]Note on the bell

This bell was cast especially for Longworth in 2017. There was merely a protracted period between casting and hanging.
