Update log
| 30/06/2023 | Overhaul added [Chris Pickford from the Taylors archive] |
| 28/06/2023 | 1: weight amended [JT records, 1961. The 1930 weight recently submitted by DS is no longer relevant. All six bells were weighed by Taylors when rehung in 1961 - so 4-3-4 is the correct weight now. (The 4th has been subsequently recast but the correct weight of the present bell is shown) via Chris Pickford #005219] |
| 25/06/2023 | 1: weight amended; 3: cast year amended [Whitechapel records via David Sloman #005213] |
| 15/08/2022 | PN deleted; Fr1: layout added [Chris English (tower contact)] |
