And indeed good precedent. George Elphick states, "There are eleven church=
es in this country (Sussex) which follow this deceitful practice" (SBB p.24=
4) and it didn't take me long to find:

EASTBOURNE, St Michael. No bell but records. (SBB p.298)

I'm sure GPE noted the lot!

aps for the record (oooooh!) a note on any installation is appropriate.
