<DIV>Two questions which members of this list may be able to help me with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) How many towers are there where bells are transposed in their pits
(usually to save space) and the ropes cross between the bells and ringers? I
know of 2 myself - Pip-n-jay in Bristol where 3 and 4 are transposed and
Alverstoke (Hants) where 7 and 8 are transposed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Where, and how heavy, is the heaviest single bell which can or could be
rung up? I pulled up Great Bede of Downside with the clapper tied some years
ago, but that is heavily counterbalanced. With the clapper going - it's a
different story!</DIV>
