[Bell Historians] Fw: Re: Oldest Change Ringing bell

[djb122uk]

>Preston-on-Wye: presumably the treble of four is somewhere in the 
augmented ring; Sharpe says it "may be identified by its shape and 
design as an early fourteenth bell" (with a beautiful illustration by 
CD). Very much like the Canterbury bell referred to previously. 

They were augmented by topping and tailing, and I seem to recall that 
one of the old bells was retired and replaced by a new one, and I 
think it was the treble. Perhaps CD can confirm?
