As to the short (100lbs) and long cwt (112lbs) issue, I've made quite a
study of metal prices based on checking the maths of bellfounders' bills -
and the number of instances of bells being weighed in short cwts is very
small indeed (only one in fact, although the list of qualifying samples -
where the documentation provides concrete evidence - isn't very large). The
other day, incidentally, I did some checking of weights recorded for the old
bells of Hailes Abbey in 1556 - and the maths showed that they were in long
cwts.

 

I 'think' the Roger Purdue I ring of five for Hannington, Wilts was recorded
in short hundredweight.  I'll try and find the details (which are not in the
churchwardens' accounts but on a separate sheet of paper somewhere else)
