| notes |
A letter to Pack and Chapman, London, 31 January 1775,
suggest that the bell frame should be made to accommodate 8
bells, allowing for 2 to be added later. The 6 bells were
taken to Workington by sea, arriving 19 September 1775. The
tenor was recast in 1810; two bells were added in 1904; the
whole ring was recast by John Taylor and Co, with
inscriptions preserved, 1956.
