[Bell Historians] Re: Steel bells

No, I think Temple Church (EH) tower in its post-war state is too much of a risk. Mind you, the appearance of the vertical ropes in the 5' 4" inclined ringing chamber would accord well with the bells. As for St Paul's, I cannot see the prestigious organization leasing the building from TCCT jumping with joy at the prospect of a "joke" ring. Now, if someone could achieve with them what was significantly achieved at Thornborough, the idea might be worth pursuing. Certainly in my view frame and tower are up to it - but not as a joke.

Perhaps GOSA might have an interest in these ex-RC bells :)

  I don't think the frame will take them.

  Maybe not at the EH site, but there is another (almost) empty frame!
