Wherever possible we prefer that data comes from primary sources, such as foundry records, as secondary sources may contain inadvertent transcription errors.

Removal of clapper assemblies, pulleys, sliders and runners. Reprofiling of clapper flats, manufacturing and fitting new fabricated steel adjustable crown staples with all new pins and bushes, and setting up for accurate striking.

Estimated completion date is end of November U/R (full-circle ring), 4 cwt (~200 kg) in E♭. Unringable; ropes fall in a straight line; no slider(s). Where known, we show the most recent precise weight of the bell in the traditional units as cwt-qr-lb.The single bell has been restored by John Taylor & Co and has now returned to Swalecliffe, following a delay introduced by Swalecliffe. The single bell that hangs on the chapel of St John's Hospital in the centre of Canterbury, has been restored at Taylors and has now returned home. Rehang on new gudgeons and bearings; restore clappers and crown staples; provide new roller boxes; restore and reinstate Ellacombe chiming system

A Doncaster head is an arrangement of four perpendicular canons, rather than the usual six. The canons are typically angular. The manner in which each bell is hung is indicated as follows: FC hung for full-circle ringing in the style used for English change ringing S hung for swing chiming D hung dead, i.e. unable to swing U not hung Entries in the Guide traditionally listed the town or village, the county (or country), the dedication (saint) of the church, the number of bells, the weight of the tenor (the largest bell) and its musical note, and the tower's usual practice night. It also noted whether the bells were in an unringable or unsafe condition. Appendices (not currently available online) also give information about rings of bells by number, weight, and county; a list of the heaviest bells in the British Isles; and details of changes since the previous edition. This information is helpful for those interested in trends over time. The online guide is, however, searchable by almost every criterion. The entire installation to be removed. Bells to be conserved, cleaned and some tuning. New ringing fittings to be manufactured. New cast iron and galvanised steel "H" frame to be manufactured and installed Project to improve the timing of the ring. New clappers and crown staples for bells 3, 5, 8, 9, & 11. New wheels for bells 8 & 10Although it was sometimes assumed to be exhaustive, Dove's Guide never pretended to be a complete catalogue. In fact, the Guide is under continual review and enhancement. Map grid references are now shown, and even details of towers as points of interest for users of satellite navigation systems: details of individual bells in each ring are being added gradually.
