[Bell Historians] (unknown)

Although I rang a peal at Pontefract in 1977, and Stoke in 1973, I 
remember Stoke being the better ten with Sidmouth coming second. My 
favourite ten in this weight range is Groton School, closely followed 
by Daventry, but I am a bit biased, having lived in Daventry and rung 
nearly fifty peals on them. I am told trhat Banbury are recently much 
improved. Kings Norton and St. Keverne are other really good tens.
