[Bell Historians] Bells in the colonies

[Andrew Higson]

The frame at Papanui is spectacularly under strength and whips round the
tower like a good un! The wooden tower bit is full of Maori woodworm so
they might be al fresco one of these days.

The theories discussed were:

*	Modern equipment. By the time that New Zealand could afford to
purchase bells (and could afford stone rather than timber buildings to
install them into), there wasn't the same need per se for bells to call
people to church in the morning.

 

Lack of stone towers did not stop the installation of  Papanui,
Wellington St Peter & Cambridge St Andrew.
