This could really get the Coventry DG President, (aka me!) into 
trouble!

The details of the bells are

1 John Taylor, Co, Loughborough 1948 3-3-16
2 Richard Sanders, Bromsgrove 1722 4-1-6
3 John Sturdy or John Keble London c1450 4-1-7
4 John Danyell, London c1460 5-0-13
5 John Danyell, London c1460 7-0-14
6 Henry Bagley I, Chacombe 1662 7-0-12

If you want to hear them try

fp.mikechester.f9.co.uk (note deliberate lack of www.)

choose Coventry a-g and go to Bilton and find out for yourselves!

As President I would say that they are an old fashioned ring that 
have been attended to by Taylors in what may be perhaps regarded as 
their golden era, just after WWII.

As a member of this list I say, "Doesn't the treble stand out?!"
