Two Derbyshire unringables

Noticed last night when looking at my copy of Towerbase that two Derbyshire towers are currently unringable. Details of Chelmorton and Shirland are on Dove. This brings the total to three of Derbyshire unringables with 5 or more bells, the other being Sandiacre. UPDATE: Church Greasley should also be on the list - they have not been rung for 3 years due to cracks in the tower.

I can see why these two towers have been added to the list of unringables, but since Church Gresley are not being rung because of structural problems, I don't understand why they are not included too.

You're quite right - we spoke to the contact tonight & Church Greasley tower has problems so there won't be ringing for quite some time. Will update Dove.
