Many thanks to those who responded to the enquiry regarding four rings re=
moved from the church. We now have the year of removal for Stanion and Thro=
ckmorton.

As some of you may be aware I am writing an article for the RW regarding =
lost rings. This is not about any specific ring but about the trends which =
are apparent when we analyse what happened to the ring and when it happened=
. Consequently any information to fill the gaps would be greatly appreciate=
d.

There are several conversions to chiming only where I have no idea of the=
year of conversion (or even approximate year). Can anyone help with the fo=
llowing?
