A quick internet search reveals;
7, 8, 11 & 12 at St Albans are Philip Wightman 1699 - though what may
happen to these in the future I'm not sure
St Giles, Holborn has Wightman bells, the 7 & 8, cast by William and
Philip, 1685
Great Chishill, Cambs, 4 out of 5 bells cast by William and Philip
St James Garlickhite, London 1700 Bell cast by Philip Wightman for St
Michael, Queenhithe. 1875 St Michael, Queenhithe was demolished, and
its bell given to St James'. Now tenor of 3, though for swing chiming
(from C B of L)
In 1873 All Hallows Tottenham had 6 bells by Philip Wightman cast in
1696. How many remain in the current octave I have no idea.
