<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have details of the bells given to me by Bill
Hughes some years ago. The 3rd and 4th in five at St John de Sepulchre were
recast and a treble added to make six in 1907; two further trebles (now at East
Haling) were added in 1908. So what are now the 4th, 5th and tenor at
Erpingham did not go in to Whitechapel, the work in 1907/8 being carried out by
Day of Eye, who also built the frame at Erpingham in which they now hang.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nevertheless I was given the weight of 8-3-22 at
some point which is a little on the light side given that the bell retains its
canons and has not been tuned. I do not recall the source of my
information.</FONT></DIV>

<P>I have just noticed something rather suspect with regard to the
stated<BR>weight given in Dove for the tenor of the above church.<BR><BR>The
ring of six were formerly the back six of eight at St John de Sepulchre<BR>in
Norwich. The two trebles of eight went to East Harling to augment the<BR>bells
there to eight.<BR><BR>Dove gives the source of its weight for Erpingham
(8-3-22) as the lost rings<BR>list. What makes me suspicious is that 8-3-22 is
also the weight of East<BR>Harling tenor (a Taylor rehang so there will be a
measured weight). It could<BR>be a coincidence, but doesn't seem that
likely.<BR><BR>Can anyone confirm the source of the weight given for
Erpingham? I believe<BR>that the bells were installed by local area ringers,
so it is entirely<BR>possible that the bells may not have been weighed. Paul
Cattermole's Norwich<BR>book does not give a measured weight for the bells -
it says approximately<BR>9½ cwt. Has someone mistakenly quoted the tenor
weight for East Harling?<BR><BR>David<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
