<div>Does anyone know which ringable rings have the oldest fittings? When I rang at East Carlton, Northamptonshire (3/06), I was told that the bells (Joseph Eayre, 1755, 9 cwt ring of 6) were re-hung in the new church tower in 1788. The Peterborough Diocesan Inventory gives the frame and fittings as probably by Edward Arnold, 1789. They were very heavy-going to ring! Are there many cases of older fittings in use?</div> <div> </div> <div>PD</div> <div> </div> <div><BR><B><I>jshe726707@c02q7m2ADhjDYv4Q6WOkErcwsDjHZ1GXThPeCcLmG__g46K8Cqlvg7ngFqDiJZSPqwZa8XG3VAozsQ.yahoo.invalid</I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><!-- Network content --> <DIV id=ygrp-text> <div><FONT
