I have just returned from a mini-ringing week in Staffordshire and one of the towers visited was the fine six at Winshill. According to Dove they were cast by Taylors in 1868. They may well have been originally cast then but to my ears they sounded like a post 1900 recasting. I am sure someone will know if these bells have been recast since or has there been a miracle of retuning (or, more likely, my ears deceiving me).
