[Bell Historians] Heavy old bells

[Sue Marsden]

> The list can be sorted by date, weight, founder, extant (or not) etc to

> the "lost" column as a date filter first), you can (e.g.) create a list
> of the heaviest bells extant in a particular year. There are doubtless
> cleverer ways of doing it, but the data (the online list isn't quite the
> latest  version) represents the results of several years work and is
> moderately comprehensive now (certainly 25 cwt upwards)
>
> It shouldn't be difficult to create a list of extant bells cast before
> 1650 weighing over 25 cwt and then sort them in descending weight order

But a bit beyond my Excel skills!
I shall have to see if someone here can tell me how to do it.
