In George Massey’s Church Bells of Somerset
, the weights are given as:

In addition, all are noted as approximate weights. These are also the weights noted by Whitechapel, although the bells were not weighed, so they still remain approximate. Therefore the weights given here are 3¾ and 5¾ cwt approx. are used.
