Lord Grimthorpe

[George Dawson]

Some time ago I looked in detail in JTs Records for 'Grimthorpe' bells.

Suffice it to say that all the very heavy scale rings have gone:

 

 

Whitley           (Bay)               now gone

Ossett

Headingley                  now gone        Grimthorpe specification

Madresfield                 4 & 6 gone      Ring remodelled  & retuned by
Taylors 2005

Mirfield                                   retuned

Worcester Cathedral   now gone

Coddington, Herefords                                  Ring retuned 2004 to
lighter scale by HMA

 

If anyone would like to see the full write-up please contact me off-line.

On thinking about it, I have simply accepted that Grimthorpe bells are 
bad, but have actually never heard one being rung. What exactly is it 
that made him so sure that he was right, only to be found wanting? Was 
he close to being right? Was it plain arrogance? Answers in plain 
English would be appreciated!

Plain English on Grimthorpe would not be acceptable on any decent chat list.
Clever, but ******
