                some H&S concerns about lack of flooring on the

    Yes, that was the year when I last rang there and is probably the
    year that ringing stopped. The safety concerns about the gallery
    still exist. Apparently a structural engineer has ruled that a
    maximum of eight people be allowed on it it at any time. No-one can
    say whether this includes the collection of old clock weights that
    are stored there! It is the strength of the floor joists that is
    questionable although the balustrade is also considered too flimsy,
    with which I agree. There is certainly plenty of bounce in the floor
    but it has been there for 100 years or so without anyone falling
    through it. We South Yorkshire and North Lincs, lads and lasses also
    found them quite manageable; once we caught the ropes anyway. <br>
