What date are Childwall and Nether Peover (where I have rung, but can 
remember more about the splendid timber framed church than the 
bells!)?

What are the back six at St Nicholas, Wallasey like? It's now 35 
years since I rang on them as a six and seem to remember them as 
quite good ...but absence does make the heart grow fonder!
