Taylor bells were going to that place (can't remember the name) in 
Dorset with the six bell chime including odd-shaped bells. Has this 
happened?

Little Bredy is the name. I would also like to know whether this has 
happened yet and more particularly the fate of the 1850 odd-shaped 
bells. I understood that one was to be retained in the chime of six, 
but what of the others? Surely, the oddest should have been preserved 
as how not to cast a bell:) Did a definitive answer as to who cast 
them ever materialise?
