with Oxfordshire would require permission as it will still be in 
copyright, but with the earlier ones (such as Walters) the copyright 
will now have expired. I think it would be a particularly good idea 
with county books such as Worcestershire and Shropshire, as there is 
nothing else on those counties available.

The Sharpe Trust is in the process of producing a CD ROM of Fred's 
Church Bells of Oxfordshire, which we hope will be available later in 
the year. 

Along with the Ringing World, I will post details on this list once 
it's available.
