There is a list of 1912 (or earlier) peals of bells at the bottom of this
email - much longer than I had thought - weren't they busy!
Highlights - but which are Harmonically tuned?
Twyford (Bucks) 6 12-0-0 in G 1907
Wool 6 11-0-24 in G 1907
Bitteswell 6 8-1-10 in Ab 1908
Pattishall 6 12-2-12 in G 1908
Launton (oxon) 6 7-0-5 in Bb 1907
The list is spilling over with approximate weights (ending in 0, 7, 14, 21)
and does not match some G&J ringing room wall lists.
