[Bell Historians] Re: Glastonbury, St. John the Baptist

[Richard Offen]

It happens all the time over here!   I’ve now rung on several bells and ring
on both sides of the world:   Swan Bells, formerly at St
Martin-in-the-Fields London, St Mary Magd. Oxford, now the back six at
Mandurah and Clungunford treble, now at Singleton …there may be others I’ve
forgotten!

It is indeed and is hung for slow swinging. When we rang there on a 
tour, I asked the local RM what the extra rope was for and he 
mentioned it was a 26cwt bell from England. He let me swing it and 
then mentioned it was from Glastonbury and I realised I had once rung 
a 1/4 peal on it in it's old home. On the same trip I rang several old 
Bishopstoke bells in different towers I had rung before and also some 
of the Gosport bells although I had not rung on those before they were 
removed. Small world.
