Good - glad I hadn't got it completely wrong, but we all make mistakes!

  Yes, of course you are correct; no confusion, there is a wrong note in my Catsfield file

  I confirm

  The ex-St Jude Bristol  bell is now at Catsfield and was removed from St Jude, tower by me, you and Andrew Mead. The rope did historic duty elsewhere!

  The ex-St John Clifton bell is at Claverton and was removed by the contractors under my direction

  After a period of storage at Eastville they were moved to JT for safe storage and Dave Kelly in pre-Keltek days negotiated their acquisition from the Bristol Diocese with my agreement. In both cases, such unpromising material turned out quite well

  I was pleased to have the Catsfield weights

    During October 1987 I collected a bell (ex-St Judes's, Bristol) from 
    Taylor's and delivered it to Whitechapel as part of the Claverton 
    restoration and augmentation scheme. I also collected a second bell from 
    Taylor's and delivered it to Whitechapel for the Catsfield scheme. I don't 
    know if this was the Cricklade bell or another second-hand bell. I did take 
    photographs but sent all of them to Edwin Macadam of the Sussex Churches 
    Bell Restoration Fund.

    There seems to be some confusion about this. Claverton 2/6 is ex-St John's 
    Clifton, Bristol and weighs 2-3-0, nominal 1378Hz.The ex-St Judes's, Bristol 
    bell is now 1/6 at Catsfield and weighs 4-0-19, nominal 1245Hz. Both are 
    inscribed JEFFERIES AND PRICE BRISTOL.
