There is also a question of which pitch standard is being used: old philharmonic (C=256Hz) is higher than new concert pitch (A=440Hz). Thus Oldham is definitely a C bell, though will appear only just flat of modern C#. Likewise Towcester and Peterborough (E-flat old concert), and many, many more...
Does anyone know when each of the foundries changed to A 440 (obviously, some rings such as Cirencester, are still retuned to C256)?

Michael Wilby checked with Taylor's for the 12s website, and they said<BR>
definitely C, like Wakefield or Winchester.<BR>

York are only just Bb - the tenor is almost A.<BR>
