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 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 'proto-NBR').
 The printed Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers is available to buy. Click here for more details.

Church Bells of Somerset
In the light of experience, we are modifying our approach to the reconciliation of data between the pNBR and this recent publication. A comprehensive statement indicates our revised modus operandi and explains the background.

Edition 10
It will not be too long before Edn10 is finalised for printing. If your tower's entry is not already correct in all respects, please let us know as soon as possible how it should be amended.
