Photographs and information on the five bells in the tower at Reddam House school in Sea Point, Cape Town. he school has a chime of 5 bells in the tower of the Reddam House (formerly Christian Brothers College) on High Level Road in Sea Point, Cape Town. The bells were founded by Gillett and Johnston, Croydon, Loughborough, UK. The bells are fixed at the ceiling in the open bell chamber and the clappers were replaced by hammers. The set of 5 bells seems to have been completed in 1956 since there is only one bell from 1936, namely number 4. All bells are in an excellent condition. All bells carry the same decoration.
