5.   Thomas Mears II, Whitechapel  1821  43¾"  12-3-20            

6.   Thomas Mears II, Whitechapel  1821  49¾" 19-1-10  (E flat).

 

1,3 & 4 are supposed to be going to East Rudham. 2nd is at Manor Fm,
Wantage. 5th is still available. Tenor was recast in 2004 - into two light
rings of eight (by Richard Bowditch). One will be hung later this year (more
details soon), the other is homeless as yet.
