| dc.description | The wine estate Uitsig possesses two bells, one in a horseshoe tower outside, the other inside the house.
1. In between two sets of moulding wires at the top of the bell we find the inscription
1815
but in poorly carved figures. Moreover, there is a hole in the top of the bell where one of the anchors in the canon has broken off. This however did not seem to influence the fair sound too much. This bell seems a twin bell with the one in Silverhurst.
2. Even more interesting is a remarkable bell that has been stored in the house. The decorations on the bell start with 5 moulding wires at the top. On the shoulder two bands of flowers and in between the inscription band with the following text
N: GREVE . M: F : ANNO . 1733
Further 5 moulding wires in the sound bow are followed by 2 at the sound bow.
The text on the bell in full is: Nicholas Greve me fecit, Anno 1733. The founder has been Nicholas Greve, a bell founder from Middelburg in the Netherlands. Between 1717 and 1734 he made some ten bells, most of them to be found in the Dutch province Zeeland. | en_ZA |
