  Have just finished checking al 1995 and 1996 RWs also early months of 1997 in case any got printed late, only took 3 hours at £35 an hour I would take £100 but could I gift aid it? Only quarters that showed up were
  24th Dec 1994 Yorkshire SM p256
  5th Jan 97 Grandsire triples p273
  23rd Jan 97 Plain Bob major p 435
  4th August 96 Cambridge SM p913
  5th Sept 96 Yorkshire SM p 1087
  22nd Sept 96 Grandsire Triples p1135
  26th Sept 96 London SM p1180
  20th Oct 96 Yorkshire SM p1202
  3rd Nov 96  Rutland SM p1254
  24th Oct 96 Superlative SM p1287

  If I had a reputation, I would stake it on those being the only quarters in the Quarter Peal Columns for 95 and 96
  Can I suggest that the Kent association puts all quarters rung in its towers in its Annual report, I don't know what they do in Beds, but it ought to be worth checking.

    I have just retrieved the appropriate volumes from the vault where I keep my archives and will look through the quarter peal columns for any entries, I shall not look through other places where quarters may be hidden, obituaries, outing reports etc. You never know I may have to ask a favour myself sometime so there will be no charge, I tried to get info about a local bell from Whitechapel who made it, they said they would charge £35 an hour plus VAT minimum charge 2 hours and no guarantee of anything being found, needless to say I did not bother, but told them I would be available if they had any jobs going to look through their records at those prices.I will do this search at the wekend expect the results on Monday.

  Again, as Dickon said of the Ringing World, Whitechapel are in the business of making bells, not researching their records, which I suspect are not catalogued in any detailed way, so you can't really blame them for needing to make a charge to cover their time costs.
