and 8 which makes it such a pig of a bell to ring. I rang a peal there last year
on the 2nd. Mike Trimm on the treble leaned over to me after an hour and said
"this is bl**dy hard work - that's not why I grabbed the
treble"!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks - good to have details for St.Thomas,
which is clearly non-standard. I only meant to imply that these were hung in
two rows of four in parallel pits - not that they were the same as Larkhall.
As I said, the USUAL arrangement is 3-6, 2/1/8/7 because this divides
the pit widths into roughly equal overall sizes for each nest of
four.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got quite a bit of information on both the
Headingleys if people are interested. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>St.Chad's (Far Headingley) was a Grimthorpe job,
the church (consecrated on 11 Jan.1868) being paid for by the man himself. It
originally had three bells (6-8) of 1867 - presumably in a "Doncaster frame"
of that date. Five more bells were added in 1872, the ring of six being opened
on 24 Sept.1872. The treble (dated 1875) was not added until early in 1876,
and the first peal was on 22 Dec.1877. The bells were all recast in
1933.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The old front six from Leeds Parish church was
installed at St.Michael's by Charles Oliver (the Whitechapel bellhanger) in
about 1841. Present bells completed 13 Dec 1890</FONT></DIV>
