hi there this is a very nice piece of KSIA. I would be interested to know its history, how you came across it. I have one or two pieces myself. James
It belongs to the Carlisle Diocesan Guild of Bell Ringers, the successor to the Cumberland Assn of church bell ringers, and is in the custody of a local church. It was competed for annually until 1939. Canon Rawnsley was a great supporter of Cumbrian church bellringing. Doug Sim.

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT 05:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

uploads[edit]
hi. I came across an upload of yours. Not sure how it happened, but the formatting was all wrong because ordinary brackets had been used ((instead of curly ones {{. Also some of the lines began with a space, which upsets the formatting when you view the page.
There is a category for [Category:St Bees] now.
The file File:St Bees south head.jpg is a bit small: did you have a copy with greater resolution?
(ps there is another st bees in newfoundland)
Thanks. Sandpiper (talk) 11:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
