missed the original broadcast, but one of the Halesowen ringers
has just brought it to my attention.<br>
<br>
The episode in the Michael Wood series 'The Great British Story'
on BBC2 broadcast last Friday, featured the Halesowen ringers
narrating an item showing a bell being cast at Loughborough,
reading extracts from their churchwarden's accounts regarding a
bell cast in the churchyard in 1620.</font>

I haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm told the bit featuring
Halesowen starts at 2:36, with further clips at 31:30 and 30
seconds of ringing at 53:12<br>

A bit of genuine bell history - on the telly<br>
