style='font-size:12.0pt'>Does anyone know if Thomas Blackbourne of <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Salisbury</st1:place></st1:City> has any
surviving<br>
records? He rehung the 6 bells at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Penshurst</st1:City>,
 <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kent</st1:country-region></st1:place> in a new
iron frame<br>
with 2 new bells to make 8 in 1896. The new bells were cast by Mears<br>
and we have weights for these. The tenor is said to weigh 17-2-11 but<br>
there are no 'exact' weights quoted for the older bells. Whitechapel<br>
rehung the bells in 1984 but it doesn't appear that they weighed them.<br>
Therefore I wonder where this quoted weight comes from, and whether<br>
Blackbourne would have weighed the bells and whether their record would<br>
have been passed down.<br>
