[Bell Historians] 3 levels...

Wilton are indeed on 3 levels, but as Matthew says they are really three separate frames. The 9th is on its own at the bottom, then the others in two further separate frames above. I think the middle one is timber (or possible composite) and the others iron or steel, but it's years since I've been up there.

The primary example of a three-tier frame must be Oldham, where the fairly heavy twelve are in a 3-tier cast iron frame.
