Bootle / old Dove

[jimhedgcock]

13cwt.

I rang there several times in the early 1960's and remember them 
being better than some of the 'conventional' bells in the area. Bob 
Dennis' father was the Vicar. Haven't been to ring on them in their 
new home, but the comments I have heard about the octave are not 
good.--- In bellhistorians at yahoogroups.com, "Bill Hibbert"
