[Bell Historians] Treble hangings

[Judith & Andrew Higson]

RO:

Presumably to slow them down a bit.

Is this why, in quite a number of Taylor's larger rings, it is hard
work to strike the little bells over the large ones (and for the
tenors to have to pull off in front of the trebles in order to strike
over them). Compared to Leighton Buzzard, for instance, the trebles
at Canterbury are a doddle to ring and strike properly (I've rung
peals on the treble at both)!

Oops! I've probably offended lots of Taylor fans again!!!

R

Not me.

It might be interesting to compare hangings, wheels sizes, etc. if you have
them for Canterbury, I'll supply LB, Evesham etc.
