[Bell Historians] Guildford Cathedral

[David Bryant]

"The first thing to strike me was the large unused "pit" in the centre. 
Was it origialaly intended to add in a bourdon bell at some point, 
perhaps?"

 

It looks to me like it's designed for the addition of a heavier tenor.
Wasn't there some discussion when they were first installed about having
a ring with a 50cwt tenor? Was the frame designed so that a heavier
tenor (presumably 40cwt-ish in C) could be added later if desired?

 

Anyone know?
