Sam says it would be really useful to have a version of Dove's Guide
to the whole country at the beginning of the 19th century. Any base line
is arbitrary; I would be inclined to follow him and go for 1800 rather
than 1837. If we all contribute an area it should be possible to put one
together fairly easily.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Here is the 1800 list for NE England - it's appeared before in the
booklet on <U>Bells of the Durham & Newcastle Dioceses</U>, but I think
it's worth producing again. A lot of the weights are speculative as
Blair in his notes for the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries didn't
generally record them. Perhaps somebody can provide more accurate
ones based on old certificates hanging in towers. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
