Parishes with 'bells'

information supplied by Kate Crennell [27h April 2002]

For those parishes whose churches have bells there should be an entry for the church  in the web pages of the Oxford Diocesan Guild (ODG) of Church bell ringers. Start by looking at http://www.parishes.oxford.anglican.org/odg/

Then look at the list of Branches. There are 15 branches, under each branch there is a list of towers in the branch with their O.S.Grid locations. The branches relevant to Berkshire are probably Chiltern, East Berks & South Bucks, Newbury, Old North Berks, Reading.  Of course this only helps if you know roughly the area where the parish you want is to be found. The ODG stretches a very long way, well South of Reading and Newbury, it is not just the current county of Oxon.
