<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can add a little more about Newry from odd notes
I've made, although I've never investigated thoroughly. My interest stemmed from
curiosity about an early "true-harmonic" chime of some size - for which there's
a testimonial in one of the early C20th Taylor catalogues - and a need to obtain
details of the heavier bells for the "great bells" list</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The bells were originally a Taylor chime of eight,
completed on 20 Nov 1898. The weights were <FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>6-2-1, 6-2-7, 7-3-22, 10-1-8, 14-0-21, 16-1-25, 22-0-21, 32-2-0 but I
don't have a note of diameters or key.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition, there was a large and throaty service
bell (I heard it in the foundry at Loughborough in 1987) by James Sheridan of
Dublin 1862 weighing about 21 cwt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In 1987, Taylors added two bells to the chime (I
don't have any details) and cast a new service bell weighing 27-1-20 or 27-2-0
(confusion in my own notes!).</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial size=2>From the above, it looks to me as though these are now a chime
of ten with a separate service bell rather than an eleven bell chime as the
later Dove entry suggests</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
