    I thought so too, but on reflection the possibility that the
    "bellringing as a sport" question might at sometime lead to a formal
    application for recognition, the history of the commissioning and
    use of bells hung in churches could become significant. I would
    think that bell historians might have quite a bit to say about that.
    I know that church bells were commonly put to secular use but are
    there clear cases of bells being commissioned by non-religious
    bodies being hung in churches for primarily that purpose? I exclude
    clock bells unless hung for ringing.<br>
