Just to say that I popped in to the  church at Kingstone, Somerset, about a 
fortnight ago, to see if there was  a weight chart or any information in the 
church - but there's nothing. The  church guide mentions that the bells are 
mainly by M&S 1931 with two old ones
 
I have information from Christopher  Dalton that bells 1, 2 4 and 6 are by 
M&S - and actually dated 1930. But I  can't add anything else

It's a pity Chris that I didn't know you were going to visit , a ring could  
easily have been arranged and access to the bells . I regret that there isn't  
information in the church & I will have a word with the authorities . I  
thought that 1,2,4,5,and 6 were M & S 1931 and that the 3rd is an ancient  bucket 
. I am of course open to correction . Also there are details of a peal (  rung 
in 1946 ) inscribed in the church roof .
