<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The list contains all known bells existing or
recast from most counties, recorded in county books. I haven't had the
opportunity of obtaining a few county books mainly in the North West-Cheshire,
Shropshire, Cumberland & Westmoreland. There will be many bells that have
been recast and not recorded. </FONT></DIV>

<P>Notwithstanding your comment about incompleteness, do you mean 'all
bells<BR>cast in...' or 'all bells still in existence, cast in
...'?<BR><BR>Plotting your figures, even with 30 year smoothing, shows the
peaks in the<BR>early 1600s and early 1700s much smaller than the massive peak
spanning the<BR>late 19th and early 20th century, which is not what I would
have expected<BR>for bells cast, but could well be for bells still in
existence, because<BR>many old bells have been melted
down.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>-- <BR>John Harrison<BR><A
