I haven't been since 1968 so can't vouch for anything done since then.  The
treble was indeed Taylor 1888 and I thought the fittings of the four were
likewise 1888, but not by Taylor.  Probably Bullock of Ixworth.  Thin,
king-posted wooden frame with anti-clockwise rope circle.  I made the
(medieval) tenor note a little flat of A.
