May and Kate Crennell of the Oxford D.G. have been working to produce something
along the lines of a "Ringers' Guide" to the bells in the Oxford D.G., including
full details of weights and inscriptions. I was contacted by Kate, who had heard
that I was attempting to produce Oxfordshire and Berkshire "lists" to update the
Sharpe books. I have been able to supply a fair amount of more up-to-date
information, and Kate has been able to supply me with details of some of the
very recent jobs, but given the contractors who have carried out the majority of
the work in those areas, we have pretty much gone as far as we can with full
updates. There's certainly still too many gaps in both Oxfordshire and Berkshire
to make it worthwhile me producing lists for either county, and I don't think
that Kate and Bobbie have got any further either.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
