"but  we must remember that much of what was being cast during his era
was pretty  dreadful and judge his bells against ones from the same
period and not  against the glorious sounds we have got used to from the
true harmonic  rings of later times."

But Taylor's appear to have understood  true-harmonic tuning in the 1850s
- Kingweston in Somerset is a good  example.




Yes I agree with all that you've said but I can't help wondering  why it 
apparently seems that some recently cast rings don't compare altogether  
favourably with their counterparts from the 20's and 30's .
