More model informationOne of the ten bells of Rochester Cathedral bell tower. The Dean and Chapter commissioned Gillett and Johnston of Croydon to recast the existing eight bells and to add two more in 1921. The recasting of this bell was funded by Captain Todd of USS Pitssburgh, thanking the dean for hospitality events during the two and a half months that Pittsburgh was in dry dock at Chatham (Chatham News 17 December 1920). The bells were rehung on a steel frame in the tower by John Taylor and Co. bellfounders of Loughborough in 1960 (FoRC 2008).
