<DIV>If anyone is at all interested the Church of St. James at <STRONG>Newton
Hall</STRONG> in Northumberland close to Corbridge is being disposed of by the
Diocese of Newcastle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will post more details when an indicative price is published.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ring of six bells were cast in 1873 by John Warner & Sons having a
tenor of app. 12cwt.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At this moment in time it is not possible to ring the treble due to a
problem with the bearings. The other five bells are perfectly ringable ( a 1/4
was rung on them a month ago ) but the wheels are mostly in a poor
condition.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do not fret that the bells might be lost as I have a verbal understanding
that special terms may be applied with some sort of restrictive covenant so that
if the new owner does not want them they will be saved as a ring of bells
seperately from the sale of the Church building.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone wishing for further information may contact me privately if
they wish.</DIV>

advisor for the Diocese of Newcastle.</DIV></FONT> </BODY></HTML>
