Basic Workplan after wikiproject created (please use this as a strawman to be adapted and extended) with quick wins targeted first:

Items:

 * 1) Main Change Ringing page to be updated and links added, but this is pretty good at the moment
 * 2) All cathedral rings to be brought up to the standards of (at least) the one for Canterbury Cathedral - but perhaps merged into the music section, rather than be in its own section.
 * 3) Template:Infobox church to be extended - exact contents to be discussed and then these to be populated, again targeting the cathedrals first
 * 4) Foundries to be brought into the project, targeting the historical ones, with these to be linked back to the Cathedral rings
 * 5) Mathematics pages to be targeted, with insertions in the pages on group theory, permutations and combinations as a practical application of these.
 * 6) Work from the cathedrals to be extended into the churches with significant rings and other churches as we feel it justified
 * 7) Dove's to be added to WikiData
 * 8) Pages to be added / extended (notable ringers etc.)

Basic information into the Cathedrals and Churches

 * 1) The current ring (linked and referenced from Dove's), including which tower it's in if there is more than one. This should include the number of bells, their musical arrangement (say 12 with two semitones), the founder(s), the weight of the tenor (in kg) and total weight of bells (also in kg) in the main ring. (i'd love to use cwt and so forth, but this is not widely understandable).
 * 2) Any other bells in the church.
 * 3) A (brief) history of the bells if the current ring is not the first there, with references and links to founders' pages if possible.

Items currently there are:

 * | bells                 =    (number of bells)
 * | bells hung            =    (date of most recent hanging)
 * | bell weight           =  (tenor weight - change to kg?)

Suggested additions:

 * | bell founder (if multiple, mention all)
 * | bell captain (nb: in the laity section)
 * | bell practice night
 * | note of tenor
