<P>
<DIV>I'm trying to sort out the information I gathered during last Monday's
Somerset open day. Thanks for the responses to questions so far!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Re Chewton Mendip:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Presumably the present superb ring has been re-hung since 1913. If so,
who by and when?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There seem to be conflicting accounts of the details of the pre-1913
bells. Is there a definitive version? The old notice at the base of the tower
gives the following:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. T. Mears, 1825</DIV>
<DIV>2. Thomas Pennington, 1627</DIV>
<DIV>3. Thomas Pennington, 1627</DIV>
<DIV>4. Thomas Bilbie, 1753</DIV>
<DIV>5. Thomas Bilbie, 1725 (the 5 reversed)</DIV>
<DIV>6. Inscription mutilated - no founder or date given</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PD</DIV>
