<div>The BBC website today has this item <br>
<<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-64718027" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-64718027</a>> about ringing
<br>
recruitment in Ipswich. In the piece is a picture of a publicity board <br>
that displays a claim that St Clement's bells are the oldest set of five <br>
bells anywhere. This is obviously incorrect as they are easily beaten by <br>
St Botolph the Great in London; however I am wondering if perhaps it <br>
could be a simple error and should refer to them being the oldest six. I <br>
can't recall where the oldest six is so someone please remind me.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
