[Bell Historians] Bell frame for sale (of no practical use)

[Bickerton, Roderic (SELEX GALILEO, UK)]

I entirely agree. Saundby is a fascinating visit, there could be its
equivalent at several well spaced locations around Uk, and without in
any way criticizing, there are better examples of disused frames than
some in the Saundby collection, presumably because they are not allowed
to be removed from the towers they are a menace to.
Perhaps EH knows of a suitable preserved barn that would house a number.
What better use of a tithe barn, an example of early timber work, than
to house other examples of similarly dated traditional heavy timber
work?
Rod.

If EH were really sincere about the historic importance of
now-unusable old bellframes, they should convert a nice old redundant
church into a museum in which to house them. That would also remove 
tons of fire hazard from functioning belfries.
