Abstract: 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.
