Title:
The former Bell-house at Kendal
Issue:
Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society 22 (series 3)
The Bell-house in the churchyard of Kendal parish church is shown to have had a
long history of use by itinerant bell-founders, casting bells for Cumbrian and north
Lancashire churches. The original five bells at Kendal, now known to have come from
Furness Abbey at the Dissolution in 1537, formed an exceptional peal and are still
represented by two of their immediate successors, recast in 1631.
