A former hour bell weighed 96cwt. The current town hall has no bells.SimonOn Sat, 8 Jun 2024, 18:37 Dickon Love, <dickon at lovesguide.com> wrote:It also has – as far as I can tell – no bell of over 40 cwt, and therefore is not included in the list.

Can anyone confirm what has happened with the 78cwt chime that used to hang in Sunderland Town Hall? Different sources suggest that they are either in storage or have been stolen. Mike Chester’s list suggests that the weights are/were: Warner 1889 8-0-1, 9-3-14, 13-0-7, 23-3-15, 78-0-11 (74"). Thanks.
