The article implies that the 1749 Bilbie octave were being recast at
Loughborough for =A3500. Did this happen or was the journalist confusing
recasting with rehanging, as these bells don't appear in Andrew Higson's
list of complete Taylor Rings?
According to the information I have they are a complete octave by Thomas Bi=
lbie I, 1749. The canons have apparently been removed, so given this and th=
e fact that an exact weight for the tenor is known (16-0-8) I assume they m=
ust have been rehung by Taylor's. Can anyone confirm this and does anyone h=
ave the weights for all of them? Are the frame and fittings by Taylor's?
