Information about the provenance of the Kirkapol Church bell
Emailed information about the provenance of the Kirkapol Church bell, from Gordon Scott. “I`ve been in touch with an expert on church bells. He is stymied about who could have cast our bell. Interestingly, He feels it is of a design which predates the opening of the Kirkapol Church. It is very possible this bell came from an older church, probably cast sometime in the late 18th – early 19th century.”
