<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.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Same Diocese: Wimborne Minster (back 10), Corfe Mullen (6), Bradford on Avon
CC (8), Holwell (5) etc. are not Listed! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>Elsewhere: Notts. St Mary, Birmingham Cath., Manchester Cath., Croydon
Minster and many other substantial rings are not Listed!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>How would that happen?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>I assume George Dawson can answer the questions or guide us.<o:p></o:p></p>
