Treble added in 2001; transferred from St Augustine Centre, Southampton.
Source: Taylor job book, RW 2001 p1190. RW article gives approximate weights
for back five and transposes founders and dates of 3 and 4; founder of 3rd
given as per Bath & Wells listed bells register. Dove gives tenor weight as
7-3-10; Taylors retuned the back five in 1906, with the finished weights as
given above. I suspect that the revised “Dove” tenor weight is merely a
re-weighing; I believe Bob Parker did the work in 2001 and the bells may all
have gone to Whitechapel. I’d be interested to know what weights are given
on the ringing room chart.

Does anyone have details of these bells please . There is a tablet in the
ringing room recording weights etc , but I have my suspicions that some of
the details given may be incorrect .

 

With Thanks ,
