Although the middle four of the original twelve are still extant, somewhere=
in Australia I believe. The original tenor was recast a couple of times, =
lastly by Blews of Birmingham. The front four were subsequently recast by =
Warners. A sharp second was added by Taylors in 1968. In 1994 when the ne=

with full ringing fittings and (from memory) a rope tied to the clapper. T=

cast. Many of the old Warner headstocks were reused in 1994, but replaced =
a couple of years ago by HMA. Unfortunately the much needed work on the to=

The last I knew, they were still sitting around at HMA works. I think Pete=

scrapped them (although he may have done by now).
