Thank you Andrew, you have given the answer to my question.   

Given that there is a very wide variance in the size rings in D by this 
founder, Lichfield at almost 32 cwt and South Petherton at the other 
end of the scale (although South Petherton tenor is almost half a 
semitone sharp of D - why?), I was intrigued to know why the thinner 
end of the scale had been chosen ...now we know.
