History |
1 | |||
1620 | Present 3rd cast. | ||
1635 | Present 2nd cast. | ||
1710 | Treble cast by Matthew Bagley. | ||
1732 | Bells rehung in new frame for 6. | ||
1969 | Treble recast a semitone flatter, thus bringing the bells from a Lydian scale into a diatonic scale, all retuned and rehung in a new frame for 6. The Whitechapel card on the wall states this bell to be 4-0-13 rather than the weight given. |
