Matthews, J - 1825 - Bristol Guide The City Of Bristol, Hotwells & Clifton.
Upon the tower are four high pinnacles, and part of the spire : from the middle of which rises a spindle that supports a large handsome gilded cock ; the height of the whole is 160 feet ; the belfry contains a sonorous, deep peal of ten bells, the heaviest in Bristol and these parts. In William of Worcester's notes on Bristol, are the weights of six of the bells (to which two were added in the beginning of this century, and two more in 1823) and that of the tenor is 7000lbs. [sic] and upwards. Barrett, without authority, affirms, that all the bells were re-cast in 1762 ; the truth is, that only two or three of the upper bells were re-cast that were cracked or out of tune.
