Pleased to hear that you are considering donating a sixth bell at Dunston D=
avid. =3D)
As a fan of rings of five (and these are quite a good five) I think they sh=
ould stay as a five!
At present the bells are hung in a low-sided cast iron frame for five bells=
installed by Taylors in 1938 but there is space for 3 more trebles to be a=
dded.
What exactly does that mean? Is there a grillage for eight or just space fo=
r three more? I was interested to see from your book that Blankney (where I=
also rang yesterday, along with Dunston and several others) are in a Taylo=
r eight-bell frame with space for a treble and a tenor. This is a fairly un=
usual thing to do, although there are other examples - I believe the Barwel=
l 8-bell frame at Albrighton, Shropshire, was designed for the addition of =
a treble and a tenor, although in the event the bells were augmented from s=
ix by adding two trebles.
