| All you lovers
of fine paintings will be drooling over this list, I'm sure. Most
famous painters (and quite a lot of crap ones like Winston Churchill, you
should have seen his painting of a tree in the Soames collection!) are represented
somewhere on the list, but these are the top 20. |

| The following
lists the number of new items that were put on the register (by county)
in the last copy of the database I got. Chances are that these are all new
collections belonging to one person. If they're near you why not write
and as to see them and maybe we'll find out who owns them? |

| The following
lists the number of items that were taken off the register (by county) in
the last copy of the database I got. One can only assume that the
tax was paid on these, but it is possible that they were taken off because
the owner had died or that they had been destroyed or stolen. |
