few times that Mancroft tenor was tuned when the bells underwent a full
restoration by <ST1><ST1>Taylors</ST1></ST1> in 1925. I have examined the job
book entry at Loughborough for the job, and on that evidence it seems that NONE
of the bells were tuned."</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial>I don't have any documentary evidence
but I'm sure the bell was tuned, although not extensively. I've looked at it,
and there are clear marks of machine tuning on the inner Soundbow. This must
have been done in 1925 - there weren't any other opportunities.</FONT></DIV>
