Please help me to try to keep this page up to date by informing me of errors or possible new

Entries_to_rodbic@ntlworld.com_which will be appreciated.

Please consider contributing to projects where I have given fund details. Most can use gift aid.

This list is of known, rumoured or proposed changes to towers.

It was composed by the late Bill Hall and subsequently added to and amended by me, with help from

those listed below.

Additions / amendments advised by David Kelley marked DK, David Bryant marked DB

MH Matthew Higby, HMA, Hayward Mills, D R L, Dickon R Love and PC, Paul Cattermole.

As projects are complete I will make them bold with the date, if known.

I will delete finished towers after a year or so.

I will transfer abandoned projects to notes at the end with any details known.

Major work not changing the number of bells and not involving remodelling of the ring will also be placed in the notes, because this is outside the aim of the list.

I wish to find out about projects once fundraising starts, or when the DAC agrees in principle,

and will include details of how to contribute if known.

Please title emails " bellringing " so they do not get deleted as Spam.
