	Bell Details
		All the bells were cast with canons upon their heads; those of the treble being the high pattern angular type being typical of Warner’s style whilst those on the other five bells are the more traditional lower rounded type.
		These staples should, therefore, be cut away and the bells be drilled with a central stress relieving hole and the remains of the staple stubs to be counter-bored as much as is possible to alleviate the risk of cracking.
		The treble bell is not of good tonal quality in relationship to the other five bells and as it stands it is relatively flat in the nominal or principle frequency and, therefore, does not form a good lead into the peal.

	Ripon Cathedral Bells
		Whilst these bells are relatively young, being cast in 1932, the history of bells at the Cathedral may be traced right back to the 14th century and it is probable that bells were hung in the towers of the Cathedral before this time.
		The treble was donated to the memory of John Kearsley by Messrs R Kearsley and Co and the 2nd to the memory of Miss Anne Cross of Coney Garth by her brother and sisters.
		On the 5th July 1932 the old bells were removed from the Cathedral and transported to the bell foundry of John Taylor and Co at Loughborough for recasting.

		The bells of the Cathedral of the Assumption, Thurles, were cast in 1867 and have a tenor of 57" diameter at the mouth that is reputed to weigh 31.75 cwts.
		The bells were hung far too high in a detached stone tower that was pierced with windows and louvres and they may well be too heavy for the tower, for ringing purposes, at least in their present position.
		Bells continued to be cast until 1888, when the Byrne Bell Foundry of James's Street in Dublin took over bell casting for the Sheridans.
