show Poulton Abbey is in Cheshire. However, there used to be an
Abbey at Kingswood (Glos, not Bristol) - about 2-3 miles from W-u-E -
until that was dissolved. Kingswood was part of Wiltshire until
sometime in the 19C even though it was completley surrounded by
Gloucestershire. I suppose it is possible that some of the bells were
transferred from Kingswood Abbey to St Mary's</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
