Absolutely right! 

I think it was late 1970 whe the two treble for Egham were hung. 
Certainly at that time, G & J Clocks retained a full time bell hanger 
(probably did clock work when not bell hanging!), who's name I can't 
remember. 

G & J also refurbished the bells at Wrotham in the 70s, retaining the 
superbly engineered plain bearings, of which I have waxed lyrical on 
this list before!
