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>
