I think that is it quite unlikely that the weight before and after the 
rehanging would be the same. I don't know if it was weighed, but I 
should have thought that this would be likely. There was an article in 
The RW about the rehanging, I wonder if it was quoted here?

I bet there are! On the other hand, IIRC, the canons were knocked off 
the 8 at Rugby, bells remaining in the tower, a decade or so ago and 
therefore the tenor weight should be approximate and not exact!
