Has the movement been measured recently?<br>
Getting it down is no guarantee it will stay down.<br>
Other things go wrong. We have had a failed pulley, 3 collapsing ball<br>
races and a couple of rubbing stays in the last 3 years.<br>
Apart from that occasionally a clapper moves and needs to be reset for<br>
accurate striking.<br>

Historians] Great Malvern Priory<br>

<br>
I hear what DC says but I am concerned that to justify the retention of<br>
the frame at Malvern, Lichfield Cathedral is quoted. It is said that the<br>
ringers are happy which is not the case. We have not been asked by<br>
anyone how the frame is bearing up. The reduction of frame movement from<br>
8mm to 2mm is meaningless. The simple fact is that certain bells are<br>
very difficult to ring and matters are getting worse.<br>
<br>
It is interesting to hear the views of competent peal ringers who have<br>
rung peals previously and now find our glorious 10 very hard work. Peals<br>
of Royal which were rung in the past in 3 hours 10 are now taking 3 20+<br>
because the back end ringers are unable to ring at that speed.<br>
<br>
I fear that Malvern will be in the same position as <st1:place w:st="on">Lichfield</st1:place>
in not too<br>
many years.<br>
<br>
John<br>
