Above detail, apart from inscriptions, kindly supplied by Tower Captain Syd Roberts but with weights amended following confirmation by Taylors that these data (see below) were for the bells after casting but before tuning. Note that it the cast weights which have, until now, been recorded elsewhere (Dove's Guide and Guild Reports) and, therefore, will now need updating.

Cast weights were as follows:
1: 3-0-23; 2: 4-0-11; 3: 5-0-20; 4: 6-0-7; 5: 8-0-1; 6: 11-3-15

The following information on the present bells has kindly been supplied by Chris Pickford:
Clarke (Part III) gives details of the bells at Capenhurst - New ring of six provided by Taylors in 1919:
Each bell has a decorative band or ornament at the shoulder and the circular Taylor mark on the waist. The tenor alone bears an inscription, which is in 3in lettering and placed opposite the foundry mark. It reads: VICTORY PEAL /1919". Weight 11-3-15 in G, diameter 40". The original oak frame was extended to accommodate the extra bells. "It is strongly constructed on the style of the H-pattern metal frame"
