Treble 29" 5-3-12=20=20=20
2nd 29 3/4" 6-0-6
3rd 32" 6-2-23
4th 34" 7-2-4

7th 42 1/2" 13-3-15=20
Tenor 47 1/2" 18-3-24
All by Thomas Mears I, 1798. 7th cracked in the crown. Treble had one canon=
missing and "a hole in the head" (sic). JPF inspected in 1938 and found th=
em ringable - fittings in need of renewal. Massive oak frame set diagonally=
on tower, some strengthening required. JT & Co quoted =A3303 for recasting=
7th, new fittings and strengthening frame, and the enormous sum of =A317.1=
0s for recasting the treble. Happy days, but nothing was done and the bells=
were destroyed by fire c.1947. The total scrap metal was 67-2-13 - so ther=
e was some 12-cwt lost.
A new concrete floor was put in when the church was rebuilt, for which J Ta=
ylor & Co provided a bell 31" diameter in C; hung dead in a steel frame for=
manual chiming, "designed as one of the bells of a future rinigng peal". T=
hat didn't happen either and the church was eventually closed.=20
It is now the Church of St Willibrord and All Saints, of the Old Catholic C=
ommunion (in communion with Canterbury) and has its own website and other i=
llustrated links which you can find immediately on Googling on to St Willib=
roard and All Saints, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Sadly, I don't think it has even one bell, let alone the "eventual ringing =
peal".
