<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A copy of an email sent to
<EM>nabbers</EM>:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There has been correspondence on <EM>nabbers</EM>
and <EM>bell historians</EM> about Monkton, Devon. In the latest round of email
messages Keltek has been mentioned so we will break our silence.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jim Shephard very kindly contacted us in June of
last year with the news about the church. We immediately contacted the vicar the
Rev. Alan Sheath to discuss the plans for the bells. We informed him that we had
an enquiry from another Devon church which could be satisfied by these bells.
Alan decided that he would let pastoral measures take their course and we have
been watching since then. I did contact the local bell adviser (James Clark) and
his predecessor (John Scott) to put them in the picture regarding the possible
redundancy and that a particular church was interested in acquiring and
installing the bells - subject to satisfacory conclusion of tower
repairs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It was news to us that the church had beenput up
for sale - Thank you for this information <EM>nabbers/bellhistorians</EM>! As a
result we have re-made contacts and are hopeful that the bells will be relocated
in Devon. There is a long way to go yet but people are trying to get the bells
relocated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is also good to see that people are concerned
over the future of these (and other) bells. Please keep contacting us as we
would rather have many duplicate messages than miss an opportunity to rescue
bells because someone thinks that we might know already.</FONT></DIV>
