<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The last complete ring was Cranleigh, Surrey (6,
16-2-22 in F), cast in 1954, but they were hung in the old frame with part new
fittings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that the last complete ring with all new
fittings in a new frame is Halifax (12), as far back as 1951.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The massive job of providing a new carillon with
all new framework, transmission and clavier for St Nicholas, Aberdeen (36+1
bells) and later augmenting it to 47 took place in 1952 & 54, and the
heavy chime of 8 (28-0-15 in Eb) for Hong Kong Cathedral, complete with chinming
frame and clavier, took place in 1953.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The back three at Calgary were cast at Croydon and
sent out with frame for eight in 1955, but the front five were cast by Taylors
though tuned, fitted and hung by G&J.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think that the last two bells to be cast at
Croydon were the two trebles in five (nor 2 & 3 in 6) at Stoke
d'Abernon, the "inauspicious date" when the Croydon furnaces were last
tapped being 23rd July 1955. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ring of six at Goxhill, Lincolnshire was cast
by Taylors, but tuned, fitted and hung in a new frame by G&J, and Addington
was much the same excepting that three of the bells are old ones.</FONT></DIV>
