Heavitree, Exeter, would be another good one to look at from this
period (same year. The tenor is quite thick - 26 cwt in Eb. They're
superb bells.
Anyone looked at Brewood? They're supposed to be the last Taylor
pre-Simpson ring. Another interesting one would be Merthyr Tydfil -
cast in 1893 but stored at the foundry until the tower was completed
in 1896, and apparently tuned again prior to despatch.
