      missed the original broadcast, but one of the Halesowen ringers
      has just brought it to my attention.<br>
      <br>
      The episode in the Michael Wood series 'The Great British Story'
      on BBC2 broadcast last Friday, featured the Halesowen ringers
      narrating an item showing a bell being cast at Loughborough,
      reading extracts from their churchwarden's accounts regarding a
      bell cast in the churchyard in 1620.</font>

    <div><font face="Verdana" size="2">Currently the episode (no. six)
        is available on the iPlayer, linked from the programme home page

        I haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm told the bit featuring
        Halesowen starts at 2:36, with further clips at 31:30 and 30
        seconds of ringing at 53:12<br>
