[Bell Historians] Bells with extremes of size and weight

[George Dawson]

James Harrison was an 'expert' at casting these, though he would also cast
bells to traditional shape when ordered. The complete list of his known
bells is in Licolnshire Bells provided by myself. I do have some tonal
analyses if you are interested.
