<p class="MsoNormal">As I paid an interesting visit to the castle yesterday I’ve been doing a little bit of digging on both the bells here and the local band that seems to have existed by a thread in the 1970s, there are however two things I am currently trying
to work out that are aging me somewhat!. According to my KACR report from 1972 the tower captain was a man called W.L barker and despite many attempts to run his name through ancestry I have not been able to find his Christian name nor indeed when he seems
to have stopped ringing (he is not listed in my 1989 copy!). I’m also trying to find out what the 1995 Whitechapel rehang involved there is a brief mention of it on Dickon’s excellent “kent bells” site but i’m curious to know what it involved and when it was
actually carried out </p>
