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. 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. The scope has been
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.

A Plea
Please, please DO NOT submit bell frame information for a number of towers for inclusion into the pNBR without FIRST agreeing with us about a suitable format for its incorporation into the underlying database.

Bellframe details
We now show such bellframe information as we have within our database record. Please send additional or correcting information via an e-mail: it is not intended in the short term to provide an editing facility for this piece of pNBR detail. The relevant Help file gives guidance about what info we're seeking.
