Two years ago the bell was removed and fully refurbished by a Brockenhurst resident. Two new plaques bearing the original inscriptions were placed on the post. The close up photos show how well the bell looks today. I have been able to discover neither the maker nor the weight and dimensions of the bell. Enquiries continue……. The inscription on the bell reads:
THIS BELL WAS PROVIDED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF BROCKENHURST AS A MEMORIAL OF THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V 1911
