We are pleased to announce the inclusion of lightweight full-circle rings of bells in Dove, most of which are in private ownership. We are grateful to all those who have assisted in providing data, either directly or via the Mini Ring Directory. We have chosen a definition for this category of ring based on weight alone (hence our decision to refer to lightweight rings rather than mini rings). For rings of 3 to 8, lightweight rings have a tenor of 1 cwt or less. For rings of 10 this rises to 2 cwt and for rings of 12, to 3 cwt. To safeguard the privacy of private residences, we do not give the map co-ordinates for the location of these rings.
