[Bell Historians] Faculties

I don't think that was what Andrew was asking - obviously a faculty is 
required to install it, but as I read it the quesiton was whether a faculty 
was needed to tune the bell and provide it will fittings. So far as I can 
see, provided the bell is still the property of the person who bought it at 
the time when this work is carried out, no faculty will be required although 
obviously it would be necessary to check that the church wanted the bell 
first. The faculty would then be for the installation of a second-hand bell 
plus fittings, and tuning, canon removal (if required), etc, would not come 
into it if they had already been carried out prior to the bell being given 
to the church.
