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').

Doncaster headed bells
Some confusion seems to exist as to exactly what is, and what is not, a Doncaster headed bell. We ask that those who have indicated that bells are Doncaster headed please refer to our guidance (recently revised) on the subject and send a correcting submission if the canon information of the bell concerned needs to be amended.

Tower URLs
Our regular checks to verify each tower URL (ie, internet address of a tower's webpage) often show that a number of them no longer work, and others have been changed. Please do remember to advise us promptly of such a change. It reflects poorly on all concerned when Dove users find that the version showing is not effective.
