<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 4th at High Halstow most certainly has not got
canons. Only the tenor has, now fitted with the more recent type of c/r
headstock. Likewise the two trebles at South Mymms do not have canons. I
remember these bells rather too well as RCO will recall !</FONT></DIV>

<P>There is a note on the Church Bells of Gloucestershire website to the
<BR>effect that the trebles of 8, and therefore I assume the later <BR>trebles
of 10, at Pebworth are the only bells cast by Whitechapel for <BR>ringing
since 1952 with canons. This also is what I remember from the <BR>RW article
about the 1995 augementation. <BR><BR>Currently on Dove the following are
