Thanks!  You've made Geoff a happy man.

So yesterday evening I got myself up into the bell chamber at CotA, and noted down the inscriptions on the bells.  (And got very dusty in the process, natch.)
 

All the bells bear, on the shoulder, the inscription MEARS & STAINBANK. FOUNDERS. LONDON 1900.

The individual mottos are on the waist of each bell.  (caps and quotation marks original.)

Tr: "WE GIVE THANKS TO THEE FOR THY GREAT

GLORY. O LORD GOD. HEAVENLY KING

GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY."

2: "WE GLORIFY THEE."

3: "WE WORSHIP THEE."

4: "WE BLESS THEE."

5: "WE PRAISE THEE."

6: "LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS."

7: "DAY BY DAY WE MAGNIFY THEE."

Ten.: "GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST. AND ON

EARTH PEACE GOODWILL TO MEN."
