Notes
[1]Frame trusses
The main pit of this, presumably, early 17thC wooden frame has a pair of 5.C trusses. The other bells are hung around it with wooden pedestals (one of which is 3.A type) to support the outer bearings. Together these form a very rough 4.3D frame. The central pit has Truss Type 5.A trusses
