[Bell Historians] Steel kingpost frame

[Bickerton, Roderic K (SELEX) (UK)]

I see the baring bolts that broke on the open day, because of rust, have not been replaced so the bell is still unringable.

Mr Birney and I have been out bell spotting in East Yorkshire this
afternoon. One of the towers visited was Catwick, where there are two
pre-reformation bells hung for ringing in a modern frame and with modern
fittings by Taylor's - 1930s if I remember correctly from a previous
discussion, but I don't seem to have a note of the exact year.

Anyway, the frame is rather unusual. It is all of steel, being composed of
channel, angle and RSJ sections, and is of kingposted design - I have never
seen this in a metal frame before (G&J occasionally used steel queenposts,
as at Carisbrooke). Has anyone else ever come across frames of this design,
or is it unique?

I attach a photo.

David
