[Bell Historians] Moseley St Mary

[Peter Whisker]

As I understand (via friends of ours from Staines who were ringing there 
at the time) they had just called for Cambridge Major and there was an 
almighty crash and the tenor rope dropped and stopped dead. I guess one 
of the gudgeons must have sheared.

Regards
Peter
