chime bells weighed 6-1-19 (I didn't note the weights of the others). 
There is a note "sold 1914-19" alongside the entry. I only noted 
this in passing, and I'm sure that more precise information could be 
found with a bit more delving.

Given the disparity in the weights of the tenor of the ring and the 
tenor of the chime I would suggest that it is very likely that they 
were separate instruments.
