[Bell Historians] Low Elswick (was St Matthew, Newcastle)

[Andrew Higson]

Hardly a sister peal except in general size terms - the 15 years between
them saw considerable changes in profile and general approach - I guess
that is Bill's point. Cambridge RC and St Matthews are sister peals - it
says so in the job book. The next new peal after these two was Brewood
which is the turning point....

 

I have tuning figures for both, but I don't suppose that in itself will
lighten the gentiles much.

 

I've completed the Dove entries for all 3 - St Stephen's go down a
semitone to Db.

	Thanks for the info re St Matthew. For the sake of accuracy, St 
	Stephen's were retuned in 1939 (according to the notice in the
tower). 
	A comparison between the St Matthew's and St Stephen's tuning
figures 
	is illuminating.
