[Bell Historians] Unpealed UK Rings of 8

[Simon Adams]

A very slender tower given the weight of the bells. Long periods of unringability, but now ringable following restoration work. Again, I expect someone (DLC, Sam Austin, Simon Adams?) can add to this.


A carefully controlled programme here has seen 65 various ringing occasions take place since April 2004.  This amount might seem tiny, but it is a great improvement for the parish, which had been advised by its geographical association and others to discourage any ringing.  

CJP noted in 1976 that "these fine bells are no longer rung"

For the record, 3 quarters were rung prior to 2004. To date that has been added to with another 13!  
All of this was started by a person with vision - Sam Austin, to whom many are quite grateful.
