[Bell Historians] Selly Oak

[Paul Marshall]

Selly Oak was in Worcestershire until 1911 when, as part of the Northfield
parish, it was incorporated into the City of Birmingham under the Birmingham
Extension Act.

The tower captain at Selly Oak is insistent that the town was in 
Warwickshire for a short period before being absorbed into Birmingham. 
Chris Pickford tells me that he has no knowledge of this (and he should 
know!). 

I am updating my Church Bells of Warwickshire website and have come to 
S! Can anyone give me the definitive answer? I have search on the 
internet and can find many references to Selly Oak and Warwickshire on 
the same page, but none that state it was in Warwickshire.

Thanks

Mike
