[ALAN A J BUSWELL]

As a record keeper using a card index system  for quarter peals, I find that a number of towers use their local names when, no doubt, they were then small villages.
 May I suggest an amendment to this list by;
 1) deleting the word 'Birmingham'. These towers are far from the city center.
 2) Delete 'Burton' [upon Trent]. Winshill appears to be outside the conurbation area of Burton on the map.
 3) Delete 'Manchester'. Northenden being outside the M60 circular.
 4) Delete 'Reading'. Caversham being on the North side of the Thames while Reading is South.
 5) Delete 'Ipsley'. Redditch St Peter is quite sufficient. 
 6) Delete 'Stourbridge'. Amblecote is some way from Stourbridge.

I suggest these alterations to Dove as these are these names which appear in the Ringing World more often than not. There may be other locations where local names are given which could take priority. An example is South Church, Co Durham. RW p800. Find this in Dove!

I'm on digest and I didn't receive my own attachment so here is the list
again, this time with a heading row.

So, for example, I found that Penge was incorrectly listed as the
traditional county of Kent and this has now been corrected to the
traditional county of Surrey.
