I know these casts very well! I do hope Taylors archives might be able to house them.

<p>In 1894 Poppleton made a number of plaster casts of letters, badges and<br clear="none">
stops etc. from bells across the West Riding of Yorkshire. Many of these<br clear="none">
were used to illustrate articles published in vols. XVI and XVII of The<br clear="none">
Yorkshire Archaeological Journal and can be found on-line and I believe<br clear="none">
many will have been reproduced again in other works. I am sure bell<br clear="none">
historians will know of him; I have seen him mentioned in George<br clear="none">
Dawson's book on the Sheffield Diocese bells.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The original casts made by Poppleton in 1894 have just come into my<br clear="none">
possession; along with his handwritten index. They were in danger of<br clear="none">
being dumped but the Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society<br clear="none">
contacted the Doncaster & District Society of Change Ringers as a last<br clear="none">
ditch attempt to find them a home. The YAHS is moving offices and can no<br clear="none">
items and are very dirty. Many have been painted over and some are<br clear="none">
damaged. I suspect that our small ringing society will not wish to<br clear="none">
retain them as we also do not have anywhere to keep them; but we could<br clear="none">
not see them dumped; thus my trip to Leeds this morning. I am prepared<br clear="none">
to keep them myself if a suitable long-term secure home for them is not<br clear="none">
found.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I have thoughts of finding an appropriate museum place for these items;<br clear="none">
the obvious course being to offer them to Loughborough, but I would like<br clear="none">
first to know of any thoughts on the matter that members of this list<br clear="none">
can offer. I am curious as to whether they are seen as historically<br clear="none">
significant in themselves (some relate to bells that are lost) or of<br clear="none">
value in Bell History circles; given that the casts are all well<br clear="none">
documented. Poppleton's approach seems to have been to make casts of<br clear="none">
just a few letters from an inscription as an example of the style and<br clear="none">
there are few complete words, much less complete inscriptions.<br clear="none">
