A quick trawl through CJP's M25 work reveals 13 gongs by
M&S 1873 going to<br>
High Beach (Holy Innocents), Essex. David Sloman reported
them still there<br>
in 2001 though. I don't know whether that counts as South
of England.<br>

I had a ring on the High Beech bells some years ago, using the
Ellacombe like apparatus; I think that was in 1990. On just checking
I see Dove gave them as hemispherical, 4 cwt. The total weight given
on ebay of 360 kg is around 7cwt, but apparently for just five
bells. High Beech is certainly South of England as far as I would
understand the term.<br>
