Thank you so much for this detail. We'll add it to the list of three-bell
towers in Dove's Guide at the next upload (in the next 14 days or so), see:

www.cccbr.org.uk/dove

Can you please be more exact about the tenor weight - is it 5-0-0 (ie,
560lb), or is this 'weight' an approximation that someone knowledgeable has
made, estimating from its diameter and strike note? Some further details
about founder(s) of the three bells would be of interest, I know, to certain
British ringers - so I'd encourage you to get bell info included on the
website. We'll put a URL across to the church anyway, and people will, I am
confident visit it (electronically) to see about the ring. Stand by to
expect some visitors (physically, as well) ..... !

Kind regards.

John,
I too have never heard the expression "I have tipped of that the
church...". Never the less, let me assure you that we at St. James have
genuine English change ringing bells.
The three we have are 1, 3, and 6, of six. To answer your questions;
1. Our church is St. James Episcopal Church of Dallas
2. of the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas.
3. The ringing room is approximately 20 feet above the ground floor,
accessed by a vertical steel ladder.
4. Our tenor St. James the Greater, is 5 cwt.
5. His strike note is C.
6. Our ringers practice every Saturday with handbells at 11:00 AM
followed by tower bells at Noon till 1:00 PM.
7. The church web site is www.stjamesdallas.org but does not contain any
information on the bells at this time.
8. The treble is St. Thomas Cramner and our "2" is Mary Mother of God.
9. We are not active in the North American Guild of Ringers but are
listed. I just realized our contact information is out dated. Our contact
is George Powell at gcjkka at n....
We are nearing the end of a fund raising campaign that will allow us to
complete our ring of six. It was a pleasure hearing from you and I hope to
be able to update our information soon to include the other three bells. If
you have any more questions or will be in Dallas, please let me know.
Peace, George
