The 4th, and especially the tenor, have flat primes, i.e. not all true 
harmonic. The flat tierces in the old four are notable also.

R:
> Forgot to say, history aside, they're a beautiful little six!

Belters, with a merry Simpsonish sound, though the tenor is a little 
coarse against the others. The church is in a lovely spot, with a path 
from the lychgate under an avenue of trees.
