[Bell Historians] Re: [r-c] Wrangle

[LOVE, Dickon]

There is a frame at Davington Priory in Kent dated 1856, for 3 bells. This
was at one point considered the earliest metal frame after Liverpool, but I
am not sure who by. Anyway, in the light of this discussion, this info will
need updating on Church Bells of Kent. The Davington frame was made by
Taylors ... perhaps this is their oldest known metal frame?

This is correct. The one-time existence of this frame has come to light
since the rediscovery of the Liverpool frame. There was also a frame with
some cast iron trusses at Bretforton in Worcestershire, dating from 1823. We
don't know all that much about either of these frames, as both have now gone

The Liverpool frame may not be the earliest ever made, but it's quality of
designstill makes it quite remarkable - very cleverly engineered and
constructed

Transferred from the chatlist! Is this correct? I thought the earliest cast
iron frame was the one in the bombed St Luke's, Liverpool, dating from
1830-ish.
