"Sundridge Park, Hickman Esq". Hickman built a large house called Stotfold. This
has been discovered to still exist, and furthermore, it has a turret clock and cupola, so
it is very likely that this bell went there. Alas the cupola is empty and so the fate of
this bell is still unknown. Enquiries are being made. |
