Ypres Bell 1926
On Sunday 23rd May, the Rev. Mr. Bain officiated at the dedication ceremony at North Queensferry Free Church of an “Ypres Bell,” a gift from the Session Clerk, Peter Anderson. The bell was in memory of those who fell in the war.

A wall plaque commemorates the occasion. The bell itself carries the cast inscription:

The “Ypres Bell” War Memorial 1914-18.
Erected 1926
By Peter Anderson Session Clerk.

It is not known if the “Ypres Bell” replaced the belfry bell presented by Mr Wilson in 1878, or if it hung somewhere inside the church.
