I gather that a copy of each report was sent to the parish, another to the DAC Secretary and the third copy went elsewhere. Some years ago now the DAC Sec here was having a clear out and found a far file containing those reports mostly of the North Riding. I digitized them and returned the file. These scannings formed the major part of George Dawsons CD on the Bells of York Diocese - The North Riding. <div><br /></div><div>They are a valuable record of the state of bell installations and it is a pity that they are not easily accessible.
