<P>Owston has a chime of 6.<BR>Prior 1948 they were a ring of 3 and in all
probability ringable.<BR>The remains of a wheel and headstock the excellent
heavy frame, probably<BR>Victorian, fitted with hexagon headed tie rods would
indicate a rehang<BR>probably post 1850.<BR>They were augmented to 6 and
converted to a chime with 3 Taylor bells<BR>dated 1948.<BR>All 6 are now on
substantial timber dead stocks 2 to a pit spanning the<BR>pits. All is in good
order, they sound nice as a chime, and make a fine<BR>6. The church and tower
are of very substantial dimensions for a small<BR>village.<BR>The back 3 are
early. I could not see dates and only wording on one of<BR>them which I failed
to read.<BR>They are good castings and have some adornment.<BR>Has anyone
details of these 3 bells.<BR>I was asked to write back and give some
information.<BR>I will of course credit any information I am
given.<BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BODY></HTML>
