Dimensions of trebles kindly supplied by Mr Chris Pickford, all other information supplied by Geoff Sparling and confirmed by Mr Pickford (source Ringing World issue of 28 November 1986 pp 1041-2).

The new Trebles, which were hung in the frame previously designed and ready to accomodate such an augmentation, were cast from metal ex the bells from Birkenhead St Mary. Pictures of the Tablets commemorating the original six and the augmentation, in the Ringing Chamber, can be seen in the St. Nicholas Picture Gallery.

Circa 1988, a failed gudgeon pin on the treble led to a subsequent rehang with new gudgeons on both the treble and second.
