  1. Ringing order, used to identify which bells ring during a particular sonnerie, or ringing pattern; generally numbered from lowest to highest strike tone. The clock bells were not included in ringing patterns.
  2. Sources using pre-Revolutionary primary sources give mass in pounds (French: livres). This is most likely the livre actuelle, also called the livre de Paris or livre de poids de marc, equal to about 0.4895 kilograms. Compare pound measurements in Gilbert (1821, pp. 149–150) with kilogram measurements in Singer (2012, p. 204).

  4. The main sources for this list are Gilbert (1821, pp. 144–150), Singer (2012, pp. 200–206), and Société (1913, pp. 175–182). Additional sources are cited within the table.
  5. Sources using pre-Revolutionary primary sources give mass in pounds (French: livres). This is most likely the livre actuelle, also called the livre de Paris or livre de poids de marc, equal to about 0.4895 kilograms. (Compare pound measurements in Gilbert (1821, pp. 149–150) with kilogram measurements in Singer (2012, p. 204).) In cases in which the source provides an apparently rounded number (e.g. 23,000 lbs) and this produces a deceptively accurate conversion (e.g. 11,258 kg), the word "about" is included.
  6. Gilbert wrote that the final version of Guillaume weighed "seven thousand two pounds" (sept mille deux livres). Society interpreted this literally as 7,002 lbs, yielding 3,427 kg. Singer interpreted this as "seven thousand two [hundred] pounds" or 7,200, yielding 3,524 kg

  1. Ringing order, used to identify which bells ring during a particular sonnerie, or ringing pattern; generally numbered from lowest to highest tone. Earlier bells are only included by a number based on which bells replaced them.
  2. 1 2 Churchwarden statutes from 1311 mention two unnamed "sparrows" (small bells). Nicolas and Luc are both first mentioned by name in 1400.
  3. In 1612, Du Bruel mentioned a seventh bell in the spire called "the wooden bell" (French: la cloche de bois). By 1763, Gueffier mentioned only six bells in the spire. According to Singer, "the wooden bell" was another name for La Clopette.
