It is noted as being a shade flat of C, but wasn’t tuned.
 
I’ve been looking through the folder and find that the bell was larger than the 
hole through to the bell chamber so it had to be installed through the window. 
Presumably the removal was a similar process; the bell was taken out by the 
demolition company and delivered here without notice during the works holiday 
(31st August 1971)! We paid £1020 for it. 

 
The company appointed by the church commissioners to oversee the demolition was 
Smith Gore in Lichfield . Maybe they have some interesting detail in their 
archive – if they have such.
