Further googlization has turned up two bells at Bamberg: Cunegonde, ca. 1185, weight 3.45t and Henry, 1311, 5.2t. Clearly in Europe bells of this size and date were not rare.

Were records kept in the UK of monastic dissolution? Does anyone know if these still exist and have been investigated, if only to see if the total weight of bell metal removed from buildings?
