The similar (in the sense of A-frames on timber base beams)<br>
unsatisfactory 8 bell frame at Ashby de la Zouch was replaced a couple<br>
of years ago by:<br>
<br>
A ten bell frame utilizing the re-used castings sitting on steel beam<br>
bottom sills, etc, lower in the tower.<br>
<br>
It is quite satisfactory!<br>
