[Bell Historians] Thatcham tenor

[Richard Smith richard@ex-parrot.com [bellhistorians]]

In the late 19th century, Thatcham tenor was often recorded 
as 18 cwt.  Although they've been augmented twice since 
then, this bell remains the tenor and Dove now records it 
being 13-0-23.  Can anyone tell me whether this was the 
result of heavy retuning, or whether it's just another 
instance of a bell whose weight was vastly overestimated?
