Is that bell really as  short-waisted as it looks? Who's it by? Warner?

Yes - Warner 1915.

 
Am I correct in thinking the  bearings (and posisbly the gudgeons) have been 
replaced by  Taylor's?

Yes - sometime in the 1970's.

 
Incidentally, I've never rung at  Aldbourne but they recently featured on a 
Radio 3 programme on folk music, and  I thought that, as a ring, they sounded 
quite good for an old-faishioned  eight.
 


Quite grand in fact, but the 5th (and over clappered tenor) let the  others 
down. They are very awkward to strike, almost all being  very odd-struck 
indeed. The other 7 bells have large rivetted steel stocks,  as at Bredon and other 
places. Nice frame though!
