[Lowering of pitch something to do with the recording, I suggest. From
memory only two bells were retuned at the time of the recent restoration,
and the tenor wasn't one of them. The note was, and presumably still is,
actually a little sharp of E.

Andrew Nicholson told me (with more than a hint of regret in his voice) that
no retuning is to be done at East Teignmouth. CD]
