Hi John,<br>
<br>
Beccles was never a village in my time either - it was a market town
and has been for a few hundred years. :-)<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
<br>

Knowing Eddie that's just about as unlikely as Gilbert Thurlow teaching
him to
ring! I suspect Paul was taught by a gentleman called Ralph Bickers
(who did
most of the bell handling teaching at Beccles).<br>
