<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Incidentally, I've never rung at
Aldbourne but they recently featured on a Radio 3 programme on folk music, and
I thought that, as a ring, they sounded quite good for an old-faishioned
eight.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Quite grand in fact, but the 5th (and over clappered tenor) let the
others down. They are very awkward to strike, almost all being
very odd-struck indeed. The other 7 bells have large rivetted steel stocks,
as at Bredon and other places. Nice frame though!</DIV>
