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.

Some interesting discrepancies in the diameters I supplied a few minutes 
before and the weight of the 5th - 10-0-14 or 9-0-0? However, for the sake 
of accuracy bells 7-10 were cast by Thomas Bilbie I at Chew Stoke and not 
Thomas Bilbie II who was casting at the same time at Cullompton.
