[Bell Historians] Redcliffe, Bristol.

[Andrew Bull]

Philip,

 

The basic details of the pre-1903 ring at Redcliffe were as follows:

 

 

  1  1872  Mears & Stainbank         28        6.1.  7 F#

  2  1872  Mears & Stainbank         30½     6.3.  0 E

  3  1823  Thomas Mears II             31½     6.3.15 D#

  4  1823  Thomas Mears II             33        7.3.  0 C#

  5  1698  Abraham Rudhall I           35½    10.0.14 B

  6  1698  Abraham Rudhall I           37¼    10.2.21 A#

  7  1763  Thomas Bilbie II              40¼    12.3.  2 G#

  8  1763  Thomas Bilbie II              43¼    15.0.  7 F#

  9  1763  Thomas Bilbie II              46      17.2.  7 E

10  1763  Thomas Bilbie II              50¼    22.0.15 D#

11  1622  Roger Perdue I                54½    27.0.23 C#

12  1622  Roger Perdue I                62½    39.0.  0 B

 

The weights are the “as received” weights recorded at Taylors in 1903. The
diameters were recorded by Taylors in 1887 when they did some rehanging
work.

 

The inscriptions are given in “Ellacombe”. There are a number of references
to Redcliffe in The Bell News, and there was also an article on the bells in
the RW in the 1960s. I’m happy to send you any of these items off-list if
you would like, though I’m sure some of the eminent bell historians on this
list – in particular David Cawley – are likely to have much more information
than I.

Does anybody have any details of the previous peals at St Mary Redcliffe,
and or any other information of any historical interest, ideally from before
the 1903 re-casting?

Philip.
