---No, the photos of the bells are the new Groton bells. All the 
frame sections are also chalked Groton via Boston.

Holbeach replaced (Taylor 1936) with Day of Eye fittings of 1926 
reused apparently! The frame at Gedney was replaced (Taylor 1911). 
Plans of both frames shown in James R. Jerram's mss. c.1904. Jerram's 
plan for the rehanging of the augmented 8 (1884) at St Edmund's, 
Salisbury, shows all eight bells on one level, however, this was 
never executed. The old six-bell frame was retained and the three 
trebles hung in a new frame above.
