you please be more exact about the tenor weight - is it 5-0-0 (ie, 560lb), =
or is=20
this 'weight' an approximation that someone knowledgeable has made, estimat=
ing=20
from its diameter and strike note? Some further details about founder=
(s)=20
of the three bells would be of interest, I know, to certain British ringers=
- so=20
I'd encourage you to get bell info included on the website. We'll put=
a=20
URL across to the church anyway, and people will, I am confident visit it=20
(electronically) to see about the ring. Stand by to expect some visit=

(physically, as well) ..... !</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
