treble will have to be recast, as they would need to be sharpened by a semitone
to make 9<sup>th</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup> of ten with the present 7<sup>th</sup>

were in fact retuned in 1988 (as well as 1890). It would be interesting to know
who is doing the job, and whether the new bells will be old-style or
true-harmonic. Quedgeley, in <st1:City w:st="on">Gloucester</st1:City>, also
largely Rudhall 1732, were retuned in 1993 and converted into a true-harmonic

they are either going up to ten or twelve, as has been planned for<br>
