[Bell Historians] RE: Bell Listing

Great Bedwyn tenor (which is already listed) is larger and heavier than Bradford 7th.


As for Preshute - it says a complete ring - which they are not. The treble was added later. Christ Church Bradford on Avon are a few years older, and a complete eight. Why aren't they listed?


Several of the bells at Durnford have been listed, but the Wallis tenor - a truly wonderful example of 17th Century bellfounding, has not.


My fear is that things are getting even more inconsistent (I have aired my views about this already), and a little out of hand.


Cheers,


Matthew
