<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>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 face="Comic Sans MS" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>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 face=Arial size=2>"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>

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