      Thanks George, much appreciated. I will try to ascertain when 
the Wardens mentioned on the Treble were serving when I go back to 
finish off later this week.

         I did find a broken canon in the tower amongst some 
rubbish, but it is nothing to get excited about and from its shape, 
it is off one of the Mears bells.
