View of a smiling bell ringing team at St. James' Church, Church Street. The man with a dark mustache left of centre is Henry Mason, a bellringer for sixty years and Captain of the team forten. The peal of bells was given to the church by Quinton Rhodes Esq., of the Wharfedale Brewery, in 1845. In 1919 the six original bells were recast with additional metal to form a peal of eight bells. Bellfounders, Messrs. John Taylor & Co. of Loughborough carried out the work. An Inscription on the tenor bell reads 'A. M. D. G. The gift of Quentin Rhodes, 1845. This peal was recast and two new bells have been added in memory of those who fell in the Great War, 1914 - 1918.' | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | St. James Church Church Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
