<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">This was in the
Campanophile story about F. Stedman's home church.<br>
<br>
"Yarkhill
was his birthplace. The current four bells are of historic
interest ,
but to tune them would render them dangerous." <br>
</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">What
does that mean? In my imagination, the bells would be so
annoyed at being re-tuned that they would start swinging on
their own, endangering anyone who approached the belfry. That
probably isn't the answer. Does it mean that retuning would
remove so much metal that the bells would be likely to crack,
fall from the fittings, and hit someone on the head? I don't
think that's it, either.<br>
I can see how retuning a bell could endanger a bell, but not how
it could make one dangerous.<br>
