am only too aware of the increasing difficulty in obtaining permission to
replace bells, frames, and to tune old bells. Parishes aspirations are
generally listened to by the conservationist bodies, but often ignored.
Sometimes, there is no semblance of a compromise, and the ringers are left with
what they consider as an unsatisfactory installation.<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
The code of practice states that a ring of bells is a musical instrument and
should sound in tune. However, there have been many occasions during the last
few years when this statement has been completely ignored.<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
Faculties can take months, and sometimes years to obtain; this leads invarably
to greater expense for a parish, and difficulties for those of us in the trade
to operate with any real degree of efficiency. We are businesses, that like any
other business must try to trade profitably, and this has become increasingly
difficult to achieve.<br>
