I woke up this morning with a vague recollection that there was some 
correspondence in the Ringing World about this carillon in the mid-
60s, but don't think I'm going to have time in the next day or two to 
get up into the loft and find the appropriate volumes (I think it 
would have been around 1964/65/66) - is there anyone out there who 
can get at their Ringing Worlds more easily? It's a shame that the 
earlier RW indexes aren't on line.

I would have said that it was perfectly possible for the carillon to 
have been sold for scrap - I can think of lots of bells that were 
scrapped in the 1960s that simply shouldn't have been!
