Details about the 8 bells which are in the tower at North Mymms can be found on the North Mymms page of the HCACR website - from this page you can also link to the peals which have been rung at the Church.
Jack Southam has provided some further details:
"The list of bells omits reference to the retuning and rehanging in a new cast-iron frame in 1985 by John Taylor Ltd.
It also omits reference to the (circa) 15th century sanctus bell. This sat for many years on the dumb-room floor until Jack Wiseman and I hung it for chiming in one of the window recesses. At the re-hang it was moved to hang above the octave in what is essentailly the old spire. The bell weighs about 3/4 cwt. note Eb (but poor tone). It is unmarked except for across on a shoulder and one broken cannon.
I well remember the spire from when I first rang at St Mary's. It was well proportioned for the tower (definitely not a "Hertfordshire spike") It was noted for the beautiful light green patina on its sheath and at that time could be seen from the road above the trees." |
