I can tell that they are Gillett and Johnston just by listening to the front 6. They sound absolutely IDENTICAL To Preschute, Wilts and Thakeham, Sussex!
Can't argue with that - Taylor's in their heyday cast some amazing bells - try listening to Uffculme's ring of eight in Eb or Wigan's 29cwt ten in C# or Leeds Minster's 40cwt twelve in C.

I think the tenor is tuned with a major third rather than a minor... sure sounds like it.
Oh it is indeed a major third bell. Classic Gillett’s! :^)
@@RingerJake They did a few of those didn't they?
I think South Croydon is another one
I think the 9th is a little sharp
Yes unfortunately it does. If it was slightly deeper these would be even better.
Ringer Jake agree. The other bells sound excellent
That's Gillett and Johnston bells for you ;^) They (mostly) cast amazing sounding bells.
But somehow, they still do not come up to Taylor's level in regards to the tone of the bell.
