I was passing through Old Wolverton the other day, as you do, and
stopped for a ring on this anti-clockwise Briant six of 1820. I was
taken with the sound of the bells which I thought was quite good for
the date. The bells were rehung by Whitechapel in 1951. Joyce Dodds
in 'Hertfordshire Bellfounders' describes the bells as largely
untouched. Does anyone know if they were retuned in 1951 - looking at
the tuning figures, I found it hard to decide.
