<P>
<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 <U>2nd,
3rd</U> 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. </FONT></DIV>
<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>
