<P class=MsoNormal>I have just visited the above church where we have just been
commissioned to carry out a reordering project. This is a very small,
neglected late 1880s church in the Nottinghamshire coalfield.<?xml:namespace
prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>They have a small single tolling bell which was installed in
1994 to replace a set of tubular bells that were fitted on the roof in 1902 to
commemorate the coronation of Edward VII and paid for by public
subscription. These bells have been brought inside and are currently
stored on the church balcony – which is not easily accessible due to poor
structural condition of the balcony. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am particularly interested in whether there are any
specific groups who are interested in church tubular bells – the church council
would be looking for disposal but if there is a way that they can be displayed
we would be interested in talking to someone about how this could be
incorporated into the project. <o:p></o:p></P></SPAN></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
