Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers
|
|
This is the online version of Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers, the authoritative source for current information about rings of bells since the first printed edition appeared in 1950. Unlike the printed book, however, here (and subject to a set of Conventions) we provide 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. That scope has been even further extended by the addition of data for individual bells as a step towards a prototype National Bell Register (the 'pNBR').
 The printed Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers is available to buy. Click here for more details.

More on Postcodes
We are told that, just occasionally, the postcode currently being shown by us for a UK tower is actually unhelpful.
If such is the case for a tower about which you know well, then it would be a great help to everybody if you will please get in touch with us. We would like not only to know more detail about why the current value is sub-optimal, but also to be provided with one that is considerably better.

Postcodes Clearly Valued
We have been inundated today with responses, without exception asking that we retain the showing of its postcode in the case of a UK tower.
Thank you to all who sent emails for such an immediate indication that this datum is so valuable to you. You can rest assured that your feedback has been listened to and that we will not proceed in the way we originally intimated.
