<p>Well I've just found Dove search facility by founder &
giving options by date etc. very helpful in understanding the
'stock' of G&J bells and how many are recorded as Listed. (The
display by founder detail shows the Listing marker next to the
date.)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<br>
<p>There are 1,597 G&J bells displayed as cast between 1900
& 1950 but it appears only their 6 bells hung at Preshute are
worth Listing? Why?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Same Diocese: Wimborne Minster (back 10), Corfe Mullen (6),
Bradford on Avon CC (8), Holwell (5) etc. are not Listed! <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Elsewhere: Notts. St Mary, Birmingham Cath., Manchester Cath.,
Croydon Minster and many other substantial rings are not Listed!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Preshute appears to have all 6 G&J bells Listed although the
Treble was added later. So they were not cast as a 6 & I can't
see any justification for their Listing in terms of date/ weight/
number cast as a ring etc.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Unless there is something 'better' about Preshute bells
(decoration? / all maiden? / canons ?) than the other 1,591 bells
cast by G&J between 1900 - 1950 per Dove, it implies all 6
Preshute bells should be removed from the formal Listing?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>How would that happen?<br>

<p>I assume George Dawson can answer the questions or guide us.</p>
