During the Second World War some rings were removed for 'safety'. I've never
seen a list, so if you know of anywhere please let me know.

Thanks

 

George

 

According to a newspaper report Holy Trinity, Bradford on Avon, was advised
to remove its bells, but it was never done. I don't know which foundry gave
the advice, but that would be interesting to know as well.

 

[The town was considered at risk because of the Avon rubber factories.]
