THE BEESTON LIBRARY - THE RINGING WORLD
|
| The Library holds a complete set of The Ringing World. |
| The earlier issues are bound as follows:- Volume 1 contains from issue No. l dated 24/3/1911 up to 27/12/1912. |
| Also bound into this volume are issues of 'The Bellringer and General Church News', issued monthly from No. l dated 5/1/07 to 1/6/07. It is thought that this is a complete set of that periodical (See note below). It is of interest that the price for each issue was one penny! (penny equals d not p). The final issue dated 1/6/07 contains the statement "Our next issue recommences as a weekly and we mean business"! |
| NB: The Ringing World issue 4662, 1st September 2000, Page 873, 'A Copyright Notice', confirms that this publication appeared only between the dates mentioned above |
| Volume 2 contains issues from 3/1/1913 to 25/12/1914 Volumes 3 to 6 were each for two calendar years, covering the years 1915/1916, 1917/1918, 1919/1920 & 1921/1922 |
| All subsequent issues are bound in calendar years. The Library has two volumes for 1973 |
| The Library thus has a complete set of The Ringing World from its first issue to the present day |
| The Library has also acquired a copy of 'The Ringing World Index 1911-2003'. |
| This Index, covering the content of The Ringing World from its beginning up to 2003, has been collated by Alan F. Ellis, and issued by him in a handsomely printed format in 2004; it is shelved with the bound volumes of The Ringing World in the Library. |
