I have had a communication from The Antiques Roadshow (honest!) with
regard to bell collectors. They have asked if I know of any collectors
around Warwickshire.
The only ones I can think of are Gordon Lane with his large amount of
handbells he uses for tune ringing and the Taylor museum, which is in
the next county.
I suspect this might possibly be for the slot in each show that they
now have for someone to show off their collection of emphemera.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to who might be an appropriate
contact?
Are you sure that when they refer to Bell Collectors they are talking about
bells as we know them? In my experience the term refers to people who collect
all sorts of bells; china, glass, brass, wood, crinolined ladies, dogs with
nodding heads and so on. I'm a member of the American Bell Association and the
range of "bells" collected by their members is vast.
If this is what they are after, there is a "chapter" of the ABA in this
country, and I can supply this group with details if required!
