"Mark Regan" <markregan@.<wbr>..> wrote:<br>
>... I wouldn't rely on the CCCBR for anything to do to support the Church's<br>
planning process, the CBC, EH or anyone else.<br>
<br>
Another player in the game is SPAB (Society for Protection of Ancient<br>
Buildings); a most useful organisation if you have an old house, but<br>
unfortunately they also pronounce on old bell frames, the latest being<br>
Horton, Gloucs.<br>
<br>
I have had correspondence with their secretary, Matthew Slocombe, and it<br>
seems to me that there is a very large gap between conservationists, who<br>
want to preserve things and think ringers are a bunch of noisy barbarians,<br>
and ringers, who want something that is safely full-circle ringable,<br>
preferably enjoyably.<br>
<br>
Another matter concerns the retention of old bell frames. WRT Horton SPAB<br>
was not happy about the idea to display the old frame in a nearby barn,<br>
security and context being the main issues. They seem immovable on the<br>
matter, despite the fact that a display in a barn is much more accessible,<br>
particularly for the disabled, safer, and easier to see and appreciate.<br>
Properly displayed, with perhaps a model bell and good labelling, people<br>
could actually learn something about bells and bell-hanging. <br>
