| 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,
