[Bell Historians] Inscription Bands

[Mike Chester]

If my memory serves me right there is/are inscription band(s) at 
Chester-le-Street in the ringing room. One of the old bells is hung 
as a service bell, full circle, but when I lived in the area there 
was no way Denis Bayles would let you ring the 9!

The lion's head cannons from Kingsbury, Warks, are now table edge 
decoration with the top of one other bell kept in the ringing room.
