happened to notice the other day that Westbury are also
listed – so somebody has succeeded in getting two good C20th
rings in Salisbury Diocese listed (and maybe others too).
Rather than quibble about which rings are the most eligible,
we might do well to think about the protection that listing
may afford for all the modern true-harmonic rings that we
consider to be good. On that basis, I wouldn’t quibble at
all with Preshute being listed – they’re very good.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p>I'd saved some versions of the NBR for the Salisbury Diocese
(prepared by George D<i><b>.</b></i>).</p>
<p>Looking at these:</p>
<p>Regarding the column 'On Pres list':<br>
</p>
<p>The version 'updated 3 2009' does not list Preshute & only
lists the older Sanctus at Westbury.</p>
<p>The version 'updated 4 2015' lists all bells at Preshute &
all bells at Westbury.</p>
<p>So we know roughly the 'when' but not the 'why' or who initiated
the Listing. Neil Skelton would be my guess.</p>
