[Bell Historians] Towers with ropes out of order.

[Bickerton, Roderic (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

Pray do not extract the Michael.
There were quite a number of towers where the ropes did not fall in
regular order but they are being regularised.
The 2 that immediately come to mind, Quainton and Kirkham RC have both
been rehung normal. Neglecting unringable towers, and towers with less
than 4 bells, I cannot immediately call any to mind.
30 years ago Stoke Newington were in a bad state and chiming hammers
needed unshipping to allow the bells to ring
As the Middlesex web site says:
Stoke Newington, St Mary, Church Street, N16 (6 bells: 7-1-3 in Bb)
TQ329863 
All ringing is by arrangement 
Tower Contact Stephen Jakeman, 73 Wargrave Avenue, London N15 6TU. 020
8800 9800. 
I would expect they have been sorted and are normally ringable.

Presumably the bells are ringable even if there are no roper on them at 
present: the difference between fixtures and fittings!
