Two more examples: Stoke Prior, Herefordshire (back 4 of 5, new frame 1914),
and Arley, Warwickshire (back 3 of 6, new frame 1929).

Been to have a look at the three at Kirkby Overblow, just south of
Harrogate. They are hung in a Taylor cast-iron four bell frame and have
modern fittings except they are on wooden headstocks - presumeably to
preserve the canons (and use them) - though the treble has a broken canon
and is drilled through the crown. BUT here is the unusual thing they have
Hastings stays.

Is there anywhere else out there with wooden headstocks and hastings stays?
