One keeps remembering, and as I said earlier, I suppose there must be hun=
dreds - possibly a very boring list. I have already got my oar in but faile=
d to mention the installation of the six ex-Basaleg steel bells for chiming=
at at the Millenium Galleries in Sheffield, which must be pretty unique. A=
nd of course, the old treble of six from Westminster Abbey (removed 1919) t=
ogether with the small service bell which formerly hung over one the transe=
pts and a dish bell from the monastic refectory - all of them now housed in=
the Abbey's undercroft museum. Then there's.....no, someone else's turn!

Just remembered. There is also a Wasborough Hale bell at Devizes
Museum,(?from the workhouse) not to mention a considerable collection o=
f
handbells, mostly from Aldbourne, and sheep bells, which the Aldbourne
founders, and others, made a great many of. Contrary to the museum's
assertion there are no bells there by Devizes' own founder, James Burro=
ugh.
However you can hear his bells not only as the front two at Devizes St =
John,
but also every quarter from the Market Hall clock, which I think is a b=
etter
memorial than having them in a museum.

There is also a set of Wells handbells at the pub at Sutton Veny which =
I
don't think are used.
