Does the attached table cover these two requests?

The string "xxx" represents an invalid or illegal extension.
(Sometimes, e.g. with Beverley's underwork, it could still
be given a proper name even though it is illegal.  I have
described these with "xxx" too.)

Where a stage is given in parentheses, e.g. 14 for Feering,
it has not been named on that stage (or possibly has been
named differently) even though it is uniquely defined.
(I've omitted trailing lists of parenthetic stages.)

Most extensions can be described in many different ways.  I
have arbitrarily chosen one way.

Chester and Wembley could both benefit from further
explanation:

  Chester   6->8: xxx/xxx; 8->12: xxx/xxx
  Wembley   8->10: 1FG/xxx; 10->12: 1FG/xxx; 12->16: 1FG/6GH

For Chester, the major version is the anomalous one.  6->12
is a perfectly good 2DE/5FG extension (and, indeed, an
indefinite one working on 6n bells).

For Wembley, the royal version is anomalous.  8->12->16 is a
again perfectly legitimate 1FG/6GH extension applying
indefinitely on 4n bells.
