> Dear David,
> You are correct that the bells were cast in 1951 and installed in 52. However, Taylors sources suggest that they certainly cast some of our bells (most likely the heavier ones), to Gillett profiles. The bells were rehung in1992, as Gillett's original job was not one of their best, though the bells themselves are something to be proud of. They were fitted with new clappers and headstocks, some with new wheels and all with new bearings.
> In 2002, the clappers were all rebushed by Hayward Mills, with some pulley blocks being replaced.

> P.s. I like your 'bells of York' site .
