<div dir="ltr">The bells were rung after the second world war but ringing had ceased by 1947. A structural engineers report of 1976 recommended limited ringing due to the condition of the bell frame and fittings rather than the stability of the tower.<div><br></div><div>The tenor was rehung in 1928 and the treble in 1937. The frame is 17th century 4 bell frame extended to take five and then six bells. Minor essential repairs have been done since to keep the bells ringing.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>David Sloman</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 9:58 PM Nick Bowden via Bell-historians <<a href="mailto:bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk">bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB"><div class="gmail-m_-5129954080804643604WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">The 1962 Dove shows them as unringable whereas the 1956 Dove does not, for what it is worth.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Regards, Nick</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0cm 0cm"><p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0cm"><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:oliverbellringer@outlook.com" target="_blank">oliver Lee</a><br><b>Sent: </b>13 April 2021 21:51<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk" target="_blank">bell-historians@lists.ringingworld.co.uk</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[Bell Historians] st Mary's Maldon essex</p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I was recently talking to a friend of mine about the state of affairs at st Mary’s Maldon in Essex, apparently at some point in the post war period the bells where condemned by an architect due to the instability of the tower. I was wondering if anyone would know exactly when this took place and also when the bells where rehung as judging by my own research it may have been around the time the 3<sup>th</sup> was recast in 1898 by warners. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Oliver lee<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986" target="_blank">Mail</a> for Windows 10<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
