I can think of one relatively remote church in the South-East of 
England where a bell, getting on for half a ton in weight, hangs from a 
single shackle under a little wooden shelter in the churchyard.   Why 
this particular bell hasn't been stolen in past has always remained a 
mystery to me.   All past attempts to persuade the church authorities 
to put the bell in a more secure position have met with failure!
