8 BELL ARCHAEOLOGY
BELLS OF THE BRITISH ISLES BY COUNTY (following, in general, the conventions of 'Dove's Guide for Church Bell Ringers' 10th edition, 2012 and its online version)
Bells in England are followed by those in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and finally those outside the United Kingdom, alphabetically by country
Books dealing with a whole county or group or churches are listed first, followed by individual churches in alphabetical order of church rather than author
