I seem to remember that we could not find details of the former chime
at Dunham Massey. I bumped into Peter Dyson at the CC Meeting and
asked the question. He says that the details are as follows;-
1 G 1' 7 1/2" 2 2 14
2 F 1' 8 1/4" 2 3 11
3 E 1' 8 3/4" 2 3 7
4 D 1' 9 3/4" 3 0 5
5 C 1' 10 3/4" 3 1 14
6 B 1' 11 1/4" 3 0 17
7 A 2' 0 1/2" 3 2 3
8 G 2' 1 1/2" 3 3 1
F# 2' 1 1/2" 3 2 18
9 F 2' 3 1/2" 4 0 21
10 E 2' 3 7/8" 4 2 8
11 D 2' 5 1/2" 5 0 5
12 C 2' 7 1/4" 5 1 3
13 B 2' 8 1/2" 6 1 19
TOTAL WEIGHT 54 1 6
Data per a letter from JT & Co 15 Nov 1994. The chime was originally
cast 1857-1858.
I suppose that this makes them a chime of 12 with a 9# and extra
tenor.
