[Bell Historians] Whitechapel and canons

[David Cawley]

The 4th at High Halstow most certainly has not got canons. Only the tenor has, now fitted with the more recent type of c/r headstock. Likewise the two trebles at South Mymms do not have canons. I remember these bells rather too well as RCO will recall !

  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. 

  Currently on Dove the following are later

  Date Bell Tower

  Whitechapel Bell Foundry Ltd
  1989 5/ 6 Albury 
  1987 2/ 6 Ampney Crucis 
  1991 6/ 8 Chiddingstone

  1971 1/ 6 South Mymms 
  1971 2/ 6 South Mymms 
  1976 7/10 Washington, NH Center 

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