[Bell Historians] Anti-clockwise Rings

[Andrew Aspland]

Great list - some stats worth investigating here. First none in Yorks or
Lancs, second more low numbers of bells than average?, more unringable than
average? etc. etc.
I would disagree with the tuning details - it was always misleading to refer
to a peal of bells as 1-5 of an 8 since they weren't, aren't, and are never
likely to be an eight. Perhaps your insertion of the word 'tuning' helps -
probably the best way to explain to other bellringers. However Ullenhall
cannot be described in these terms - 1-8 of 12 merely indicates that the 2nd
is a semitone flat when the truth is far wide of this - the third and fourth
are the same note and may even by the wrong way round in terms of perceived
pitch - to use the word 'tuning' anywhere near these bells is surely an
exaggeration!

There would appear to be 164 such rings of 4 or more as on the attached list
compiled from Dove's Guide. Please let me know if any are missing or
incorrect.
Thanks
