[Bell Historians] Oxford

[David Bryant]

"I think you'll find that happened before it was rehung on its present 
iron headstock."

Techincally, there is nothing to stop a slow-swinging bell being rung
full circle, provided there's nothing in the way and the rope is long
enough. They handle strangely because of being tucked up and the
position of the garter hole, and clapper unevenly at the top, but they
will go up.
