I'm very intersted in Church-Bells. Can you give me some informations about the bells of the Cathedral? I'am intersted in Founders, Year, Tuning and the technical Datas. Thank you.
There are just two bells in the Cathedral fleche which are struck during funerals, and used to announce the Angelus at 12 noon and to note the act of consecration during the Sunday Eucharist. For these purposes they are now rung remotely electrically.

The two bells were originally installed in 1901 at the former ProCathedral Church of the Holy Apostles, Park Place, Clifton. Bristol where they accompanied the church clock manufactured by Kemp Bros of Bristol which chimed the hours and quarters. Neither bell was hung to ring in the true sense.

Founders, John Taylor & Co. (John Taylor Bellfounders)
Year, 1901
Tuning Notes F & C
and the technical Data.
Diameters 1'10" and 2'5 1/2", Weights 1-3-26 and 4-2-26
