[ALAN A J BUSWELL]

Thank you all for your replies. I can now put a closure on my record card. There were about 25 quarters rung on the bells between 1960 and 1978.

AAJB.

Alan - I am afraid St. Mary Gateshead will not figure in 1/4 peal analysis 
any time soon. There were 4 bells in the 1552 inventory.
 
6 new bells in 1730.
 
8 new bells in 1788.
 
7th cracked in early 1970s.
 
Church gutted by fire.
 
Bells put into Diocesan storage.
 
Two trebles used as scrap for augmentation at St. Mary Whickham.
 
6 remaining bells stolen.
 
Church redundancy scheme 1984 and gifted to Northern Heritage Trust for 
Civic use.
 
Manager of building very much against installation of any bells.
 
regards - Howard E. J. Smith - Newcastle
