(M) indicates the mark of the Whitechapel Bellfoundry, and (B) the mark of the Norwich Foundry.

For those unfamiliar with imperial weights, 1 hundredweight (cwt) is 112 pounds (lb) or 4 quarters (qtr).

1 qtr is therefore 28 lb.

20cwt=1 ton, and an imperial ton is approximately the same as a metric tonne.

The smallest bells in the tower are therefore about a quarter of a ton in weight, and the largest is over one and a quarter tons.
