<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I note that the NBR gives nothing for St Mary the
Virgin and St Nicholas church, Sandy Lane, Wiltshire. There is actually,
attached to the outside west wall, a small, un-inscribed, bell of about 20
lbs. It is swing rung from a rope hanging inside the church.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, the bell from St Mary's church, Chittoe, was
removed at the time the church was de consecrated, 1980, and re-hung in the
tower of St Nicholas church, Bromham, where it hangs in its own wooden
frame and is used as a Sanctus bell. It weighs 112 lbs and has J
P - B cast on the waist - Jeffreries and Price, Bristol. It
was cast c.1845.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please can someone add these details to the
NBR.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sandy Lane church claims to be the only wooden
structure, with a thatched roof, <U>built as a place of worship</U>, in England.
It was originally dedicated to St Nicholas. St Mary the Virgin was added in 1980
when the church at Chittoe closed.</FONT></DIV>
