Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers
|
|
This is the online version of Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers, the definitive source for
information about rings of bells since the first printed edition appeared in 1950. The site provides full-featured searching, links to mapping facilities to show the exact
location of towers, satellite navigation data, and details of changes to entries as they occur. Its scope has been
extended by the addition of data for individual bells as a step towards a prototype National Bell Register (the 'proto-NBR').

Slight Recountification
With another printed edition of Dove being thought about, we are considering a minor revision to (the names and boundaries used for) the county name used for each UK Dove entry. It is based on what are known as 'The Lieutenancy Areas'. A document outlining the envisaged changes has been prepared by Tim Jackson indicating the implications of the proposal.
If you wish to make any comment on the proposal, please do so direct to Tim (a link for that purpose will be found within the document itself).
