<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Yes it is true that the Keltek Trust offered to
purchase the bell. However when Whites of Appleton arrived to remove the bell
they found they could not gain access; we had instructed them that if the cost
of removal was likely to exceed the value we had put on the bell then not to
proceed. Reluctantly they concluded this was the case.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It was then hoped that the demolition contractors
would be able to remove the bell intact but the vicar Ricky Panter thought that
this would not happen. He was proved correct as it has been reported that a
piece was broken out of the crown. The fallback position was for the church
authorities to sell the scrap metal to a bellfounder and we believe that a sale
is in progress.</FONT></DIV>
