HISTORY |
1627 The 3 bells of All Saints, Canterbury were recast by Joseph Hatch. 1903 All Saints church closed for worship. 1911 During alterations on the church the 1627 bell was removed. Mr E Barnett of Crayford rescued the bell which was on the groud, Funds were raised by parading it through the streets & it was hung in the new Bexleyheath Clocktower by S.B. Goslin.
