Riverside bass bell

[jimhedgcock]

Some little time ago I asked if this was still the largest tuned bell 
in the world. The response was that it was.  I had some exam 
invigilation yesterday when there were no snoopers about so I took the 
opportunity to read some of Jill Johnston's Englands Child. On page 83 
it states that the Riverside bourdon was exceeded in 2000 but not as 
part of a carillon. Any suggestions? I was intrigued to read that three 
of these monsters had been cast and rejected - then the first one was 
accepted!
