[Bell Historians] Ewerby

[j.greenhough at w...]

i used to ring regularly at Ewerby; only the fourth has a noticeably-sharp
hum whereas the others in the front six are very close to true harmonic;
if you don't know the details you would think on hearing them that the
back four and fourth are old bells.
