Notes
[1]Clock bell
The clock bell has been removed from the tower. Taylors are to install the clock hammer to strike on the 1951 G&J bell instead.

[2]Frame layout
As frame 4.5 but with an additional frame parallel to A and B beside frame A forming 3 parallel pits like layout 3.1. If the 3 parallel pits are viewed as uppermost, there is a pit to the right orthogonal to the upper two, with another pit end to end with this pit orthogonal to the lower one of the parallel pits and parallel to the C and D of the 4.5 layout.
