Are there any other ringable towers with ropes out of order?

We (ie, the Dove Stewards) have not been informed that the bells are
unringable - we would be showing "unringable" if we had been so
informed (and people are usually quick to inform us about ringability
or otherwise).

David asks about other instances of unusal roping.  We try to use
consistent wording for this sort of characteristic at a tower, thus
a search within Dove on the words "ropes fall in sequence:" (as used
in that particular entry) will produce all such other instances, with
or without such other search constraints as one wishes to impose.
