Thursley, Surrey

[oakcroft13]

Ex Jonathan Deane, via Dickon:

> Thursley, Surrey, . . . asked to estimate their
> weights. Their measurements are

Bell Diameter Height Note
------------------------------------
Treble: 1' 11" 1' 5" F#
Two: 2' 2" 1' 9" E flat
Tenor: 2' 4" 1' 10" D flat
------------------------------------

Stahlschmidt has the following:

Thursley, St. Michael
1) R P FECIT 1715 IOHN STILLWELL FRANCIS IACKMAN CH. WARDENS
2) An inscription of some fourteen or fifteen black letter 
miniscules, placed about four inches apart; quite illegible, one 
letter S being the only one free of doubt
3) 1828
(Diameter of treble 24 in., of tenor 29 in.)
T. R. E. (Stahlschmidt's code for the Edward VI inventory): Item iii 
belles in the steple the best by estymacion vi hundreth and so under 
after the rate.

Of course, that was in 1884 . . . the sizes look right, though.
