[Bell Historians] Anti Clockwise hanging

[Richard Offen]

Left-handed bell hanger!

 

Seriously though, it was generally to do with frame configurations that
exerted minimum forces on the tower walls.   Some of the early frame
designs, particularly eight-bell frames with pairs of pits at right-angles
to each other, generally lead to an anti-clockwise circle.

One of our ringers is giving a talk to a local Round Table on ringing 
and in that town the bells are hung Anti-ClocKwise, indeed they have 
recently been rehung keeping that configuration.

What is or are the resons for bells being hung this way?

Michael Orme.
