There is a note on the Church Bells of Gloucestershire website to the
effect that the trebles of 8, and therefore I assume the later
trebles of 10, at Pebworth are the only bells cast by Whitechapel for
ringing since 1952 with canons. This also is what I remember from the
RW article about the 1995 augementation.

The Pebworth ones are obviously correct, but what about the others?
I find the Washington one, for instance, very unliklely.
