I don't think it was preserved for any historical reason - it was probably =
just easier to leave it there. It isn't the only redundant metal frame rema=
ining in a tower. The old cast iron 8-bell frame (by Blackbourne) remains a=
bove the present installation at South Petherton. The old 3rd still hangs i=
n its pit, bereft of all fittings apart from headstock, bearings and an Ell=
acombe hammer.
