I imagine that the present 5th and treble will have to be recast, as they would need to be sharpened by a semitone to make 9th and 4th of ten with the present 7th as tenor. Presumably the others would be retuned as well, though I believe they were in fact retuned in 1988 (as well as 1890). It would be interesting to know who is doing the job, and whether the new bells will be old-style or true-harmonic. Quedgeley, in Gloucester, also largely Rudhall 1732, were retuned in 1993 and converted into a true-harmonic ring, which the exception of the 1850 Taylor sixth, which obviously caused the tuned some problems.

I hope they are going to be tuned, the present 6th is horribly flat (almost a ¼ semitone)!

Ludlow are going to be made into a 10, with the present 7th as the tenor. The bells are coming out on the 3rd December. Sorry I can't tell you much more at present.

	I guess they are either going up to ten or twelve, as has been planned for
	the last five years or so - they have two of the Gillett bells from the old
	ring at Kidderminster in store.

	Is the augmentation to 12+2# proposed a few years ago now going ahead?
