Description / Background

The bell was originally part of the Bradfield Air Station located at West Lindfield. After the war the bell was moved to the West Lindfield Uniting Church which was located where the Air Station Guard house stood. In 1983, West Lindfield Church closed and the bell was transferred to St David's. The bell is dedicated to four 'local airmen' and all those airmen and airwomen, some 200,000 veterans in all, who passed through the Station.

St David's Uniting was formerly a Presbyterian church.
