How interesting! Just as I've always suspected, Edenbridge tenor has 
something approaching a major third instead of a minor one. Even 
more interesting is the fact that Wrotham tenor doesn't. Other 
than this, they're pretty good bells (haven't had time to do a full 
analysis).

Johnston was known to be experimenting with major thirds early on 
(Wolverhampton and Spitalfields tenors are other examples of him 
nearly getting there).
