Thanks. I inspected these fascinating bells eighteen months or so ago, and =
in my notes I wrote the following about the 10th:
"10th "Oldham", "Trinity" or "Old Nine O'Clock"
Inscription band: WM EVANS FECIT RECAST 1729
(57 5/8", 33-2-11)
The bell is by William Evans of Chepstow. It bell has lost its canons, has =
been quarter turned, and has been machine tuned from the mid soundbow to th=
e mid-upper waist. There are marks of neat scratch-tuning on the lower soun=
dbow, beneath the machine marks."
The earlier tuning marks were clearly by Evans, as this was the only bell t=
o bear them. The marks were much neater than those on the other bells on wh=
ich earlier tuning was visible.
