I've just been looking through the three bell supplement and found the following from the "Removed" list:<BR>
<BR>
Cloford, Som - <I>only one remains hung for ringing; others now hung dead</I><BR>
Combe Pyne, Devon - <I>now hung dead<BR>
<BR>
</I>Neither ring were ever hung for ringing. <BR>
<BR>
Ref for Cloford: Bells of the Frome Deanery by George Massey (1985) + our notes. They are in a three bell sawpit bellframe (all pits N/S) which appears to be good. The treble and tenor are both by Ll & J 1892 and are hungdead in the central pit of the frame. The Jefferies & price 2nd is hung in the Easternmost pit and the Westernmost pit remains empty. All are struck by Ellacombe hammers.<BR>
<BR>
Ref for Combpyne - our notes prior to rehanging - Only one bell had a wheelwhich was mounted upside down. Wheels were never fitted to the others and the bells hung from the roof timbers, never strong enough to support swinging bells. The bells form a rather out of tune 2,4 & 6 of a ring of six.They used to be a clock chime and evidence of the hammers still exist. It is hopes to fill in the gaps at some point with an ex Trinity House Buoy bell and the bell from the redundant Church at Rousdon.<BR>
