<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">I'm not sure that Kidderminster bells are
relevant here - I can find nothing to indicate that they were war memorials (and
1935 would be very late indeed for a WWI memorial). Certainly nothing on the
inscriptions, and nothing (from a very quick check I'll admit) in the RW
dedication report</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">But the suggestions from Ted Steele and
Phil Lucas regarding the relocation of other types of memorial (besides bells)
are well worth pursuing - as is the point that although two of the Hanley bells
(as I understand it) are memorials, they are part of an instrument which is not
(in toto) a memorial</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>"When Kidderminster were augmented from eight to
twelve in 1935 some if not all of the three G&J trebles were given as a
War Memorial, and some if not all of those were given by the
Town.</FONT></DIV>

were dispersed when the new twelve were put in; two went to Ludlow and the
other to (I think) Australia."</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Trebles are indeed now trebles of ten at Ludlow. 3rd is now treble of 8
at Polesworth, Warwickshire.</DIV>
