Description: | A cast copper-alloy, lead rich, bell of probable post-medieval date. The bell is broken and incomplete. The bell is missing much of its circular suspension loop which is located at the top. A double collar runs around the base, although much of the base is missing. At the top the corroded remains of the iron clapper protrude through a hole in the wall of the bell. The remains are also visible in the interior of the bell. Casting flashes are visible on both sides of the bell. The bell flares at the bottom of the walls and it measures 35.78 mm in diameter here. The walls are 2 mm thick and it is 40.8 mm high. It weighs 22.7 grams. Traces of tinning are faintly visible on the exterior. Other than this it has a dark green patina.
