[Bell Historians] Bury St Edmunds

[Andrew Wilby]

The dean of St Edmundsbury is a former Vicar of Towcester and I had a 
number of conversations with him on the subject when he embarked on the 
project to build the tower.

It is definitely a "lantern tower" and is not intended to hold any 
bells. Even the suggestion of a Bourdon was out.

He did investigate the story that the Gatehouse might not belong to the 
Cathedral, just in case the was a consideration of moving the bells 
into something it did own but found that not to be true.

So that's it.
