Notes
[1]Amended cast years
The date 1887 was on the old 2nd, which was recast in 1996 - but the entire ring (i.e. the back five) were of the same date. The others have no casting
date on, but the tenor has the 1885 date of the donor’s marriage. CJP has been researching Norton Canes (where they came from) for the Pevsner revision and found that the bells were installed as a ring in 1887.
