[Bell Historians] Downholme Bell theft

[Chris Curry]

www.riponandleedsbells.org.uk gives tenor as cast in 13??, and the 
treble as cast in 17??. The article says it is thought to be at least 
500 years old, so I'm afraid it probably was the tenor. I live quite 
near downholme, so I will see if I can stop and have a look at some point.

Chris.
