The recasting of the Oxford and 1914 Tewkesbury bells is understandable, 
though - this was before Whitechapel adoped true-harmonic tuning and the 
bells are likely to have been poor. The 1911 trebles at Cambridge will have 
been true-harmonic and there is very reason to assume that they will have 
been good tonally.
