To some extent, but surely not accurately enough to be able to say 
with anything approaching certainty that any given bell is the oldest 
hung for change ringing, unless there are any of really antiquated 
shape in rings of 3 or the like. The exampe which immediately springs 
to mind is the disused bell at Caversfield, which was the treble of a 
ringable three until the mid C20.
