[Bell Historians] Re: Bullring bells / Trafalgar Square

[David Cawley]

It's only one step away from the old Bullring bells to St 
Martin-in-the-Fields. Disposed of as beyond tuning and replaced by a very 
ordinary ring (who would believe that the grand neighbouring rings at the 
Abbey and St Clement Danes are from the same pot?). And like the old 
Bullring bells they were most successfully tuned and have gone to a home 
where they are appreciated - and again with a different acoustic!
