Index of the churches in the London metropolitan area described in the Trollope manuscript

Chapter 8: London Bells and Bell Towers fills volumes 4 – 6 of the manuscript. The list below is based on Trollope’s index to these volumes, but generally omits incidental references, pointing only to the specific articles on an individual tower.

As the work was written in the 1930s, an indication of current status is provided: churches with ringing bells in 2018 are in bold type, an asterisk denoting a replacement ring. Lost towers are in italic.
