Probably the first and last time Bow's tenor and Wooburn's 7th will
be mentioned in the same breath! I will have to go away and count up
more carefully now.
So, joint leaders at this early stage. Anyone have a claim for more
than 73 words on a ringing bell?

PS - one heck of an inscription on the French bell formerly at
Sevenoaks. Would this have been created using the usual reverse
lettering on the cope technique, or by the lost wax method?
