the building of this magnificent church occasioned the demise of the

Aspland] The six bells were installed in 1866 and augmented in 1891
then were not rung after 1903. My interest was sparked off by the (now
broken) glass peal board recording the one and only peal rung in
Harrogate (1902) before new bells went in at St Peters in the
1960s. Through the Yorkshire report (from 1875
onwards) I have been able to track the membership and the members'
addresses and I have photographed the houses that I could locate.
Kelly's and Robinson's directories have given me further information about
the ringers' occupations and domestic circumstances. The online 1901
Census (and earlier ones) </SPAN><SPAN class=301502811-22102007>have
enabled me to trace some of their families. But Bell News has
opened a whole new avenue of information - highlights include publication of
various 720s and other touches - my discovery of the Ripon and District
Association - bellringers outings to and from Harrogate etc.
etc.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
