Baldersby

[Alan J.Birney]

I was wondering what the restoration work at Baldersby involved- As 
I undertand it, the bells are now electrically chimed, but I seem to 
recall Martin Hough found there was an Ellacombe apparatus in the 
tower on his visit there.
Is the Ellacombe apparatus still servicable?
Also how practical would it be to hang the bells(even if it was only 
the front four) for Veronese style full circle ringing?
Also, the four at nearby Topcliffe are unringable-I have heard that 
the tower was the main concern, but what sort of state are they in 
and whom are the bells by?
Thanks
Alan
