Kettering (again)

[David Bryant]

According to the rings of 12 webste, the 9th of the ring just removed from Kettering (dated 1630) was not case for Kettering, but was exchanged for the tenor at Gretton, Northants, by Thomas Eayre in 1761.

Is this correct? If so, where is it recorded and why was it carried out. As this bell will have been G and the tenor at Gretton is given as G#, it seems possible that it was carried out because the Kettering bell was too sharp and the Gretton one too flat. Does the bell still exist at Gretton, and does anybody have details of it?
