[Bell Historians] Ludlow

[Andrew Bull]

The previous tenor was by Thomas Mears II, 1832, weight 22-3-0 after
retuning and removal of canons in 1890. The bells were indeed a complete
Rudhall octave of 1732, the original tenor weighing 25-1-11.

"When the bells were rehung in 1988, the existing frame was retained, but 
the old tenor was found to be a poor and porous casting, and was recast over

two hundredweight heavier"

Do you know who it was by? Was it a Rudhall bell? Presumably they started 
out as a complete octave.
