Surely the inscription on the 4th contravenes the trades descriptions act.

The octave were hung in a wooden frame with wooden headstocks, plain
bearings etc. The semitone bell hung at a higher level between two beams. It
was the original bell for the church. There was a Shaws mangle type chiming
machine. The bells were scrapped in 1966, but the metal of the treble and
third was used to cast the new trebles of twelve at the Cathedral.

Information from Rev. D. Cawley.

Dear All

Does anyone have the basic physical details (dia note weight founder date)
of the eight plus semitone which formerly existed at St John, Little Horton
Lane, Bradford, W Yorks?

Thanks

Andrew
