Just looking at the respective figures, treble is presumably thin; 2nd is =
somewhat taller in respect of its diameter than the other two. Perhaps the=
re is a catch hidden here, but I would have expected approx 2-2-0, 3-3-0 an=
d 4-2-0, and look forward to hearing, if they've been weighed, how wrong I=
probably am!

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=20
miniscules, placed about four inches apart; quite illegible, one=20
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=20
belles in the steple the best by estymacion vi hundreth and so under=20
after the rate.

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