I have heard of Hosanna going up but the clapper gets random, making it a pointless exercise. the big bells at Dordrecht go high, perhaps the good Mr Parry could comment.

    2) Where, and how heavy, is the heaviest single bell which can or could be rung up? I pulled up Great Bede of Downside with the clapper tied some years ago, but that is heavily counterbalanced. With the clapper going - it's a different story!



  I'm certainly no expert on this, but just wondering, could Hosanna (7.5T) at Buckfast Abbey be rung full circle?
