[Bell Historians] Eastry Sanctus Bell

[David Bryant]

"Dodds' Hertfordshire gives back eight 1919 and two trebles 1946. His 
description of treble bell tops would suggest that they are not button 
tops?"

How does he describe them? I've not seen the bells but I would guess that
they will be flange tops. Button tops, as used on Buoy Bells, consist of a
circular flange supported only by a hollow central pillar. Bells hung for
change ringing always, in my experience, have flange tops which are similar
but with additional supporting pillars between the flange and the crown of
the bell.
