New bell for Harvard's Memorial Church

Memorial Church’s cracked bell is replaced.

From The September-October 2014 Issue

In 2011, the Memorial Church bell got a new clapper—and cracked; recordings replaced its ringing. This replacement, cast by John Taylor Bell Foundry, of the United Kingdom (which made the original in 1926), was hoisted into place on June 16. Genuine clangs resumed.

 

Published in the September-October 2014 print issue under the headline “Steeple Sounds,” in the John Harvard's Journal section.
