that the=20
bells were removed from the tower, retuned and rehung in 1951 - not just a=

details now added to my file on late Gillett work, thanks to Peter and Mark=

Humphreys and the website. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>This job is not recorded in the surviving =

tuning records - which covers most of the work of 1951 - which led me to su=

that the bells might not have been tuned. There are some cases where bells =

final period of the firm's existence, 1951-1957. The main series of tuning =
