<br clear="none">... 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 clear="none">
