FW: [WirralBellringers] Books which belonged to the late A J Martin

[Peter Humphreys]

I forward the attached in case there is anything here which may be of
historical value.

 

 'Among the Bells'  by Rev. F E Robinson appears to have been signed by the
author - unless it is part of the print.

 

For the present these books are in my possession so I may be able to answer
any queries.
