<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Just to echo Andrew Bull's sentiments on
Wisbech, which were (as Neil Skelton says) previously retuned in the 1930s at
Whitechapel. A fine ring - by whatever means they got there! - and predominantly
true-harmonic in character. I did ring there in 1970, but can't honestly say I
have any clear recollections of what they were like before the later
retuning.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Cheltenham may have been retuned in 1911
(I don't know either way for sure), but only to adjust strike notes - not
harmonics - if they were. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Not sure how St.George's Stockport got in
this discussion - they're well post-1850 (1896-ish from memory), and I think
that they were rehung in the tower without retuning in the 1980s.</FONT></DIV>
