Yes, I know there are mistakes! I will try to put them right if people draw
my attention to them.

Except that the metric value given for Preston's tenor is that for the
ring
of bells that was removed from the tower eight years ago. Or maybe it's
just
an inexact conversion...

For general purposes, to get an approximate figure, it helps to know that
10cwt is 509kg. We have started to give metric as well as imperial
figures
in the Lancashire Association Annual Report. This is useful in answering
the question "How heavy is it?" as opposed to "How easy is it to ring?".
Obviously as they are conversions if the imperial figure is an estimate,
the
metric equivalent won't be accurate to the exact kilogram.
