NO04SW 30 0286 4227.
This bell is of cast bronze and measures 8 1/2" (216mm) in height, including the handle which rises 1 1/2" (38mm) above the body. It measures 7 1/4" by 6 1/8" (184 by 155mm) across the squared mouth, and the handle, which rises almost straight up from the two narrow sides of the bell, exhibits a casting flaw which has been repaired by a subsequent pouring of the metal.
The original provenance of the bell is not recorded, but it was held in Little Dunkeld Parish Church (NO04SW 26) by 1866, at which date 'considerable repairs' were made.
J Anderson 1889.
