06/03/2025Fr1: date, maker, truss added; 3: weight amended [John Greenhough, from personal visit (frame). There is no evidence to support a precise tenor weight. Based on (separate) personal visits by Tim Jackson (2009) and John Greenhough (2025), there is no paper record giving a precise weight at the church, nor any physical evidence that the bells have been through the hands of a professional bell hanger since the 1700s. There is nothing in the Christopher Dalton papers nor in GAD NBR Peterborough Dio. The Peterborough Diocese Inventory, Pearson gives an approximate weight]
