The Chinese Bell in St. Mary's, Gosforth
The Chinese Bell in St Mary's Church Gosforth, Cumbria.
The bell was cast in 1839 and captured in 1841 by Sir Humphrey Le Fleming Senhouse from the Anninghoy Fort at the mouth of the Pearl River, Maccao. It was donated to St Mary's Church in 1844 and a local blacksmith made a clapper for it to be hung in the bell tower. However Chinese bells are meant to be struck from the outside so the bell cracked and was taken down.
The cannon balls came from the Dardanelles during the Crimean war.
