The bells

The tale of the bells of Southwark Cathedral. mentioned at references 1 and 2 and to which we shall return shortly. Note the absence from the list of the famous but recently closed Whitechapel Bell Foundry. To be investigated.

In the meantime, the artist involved, Angela Wright, has posted some nice pictures of the service of blessing at reference 3.

A minor comment on our times that an important evensong does not really count without the presence, apart from whoever took these pictures, of at least one roaming video camera man, rather in the way of a modern wedding. A contemporary extension of the phrase 'bearing witness', much used in matters churchy.

And I see from the pictures that follow those of the bells, that the bells were not the artist's first venture into the woolly art.

PS: readers are encouraged to study the numbers to see if they can work out what they all mean, before being told the answer.
