[Bell Historians] Re: A Short handstroke

[Chris Pickford]

Brian Meldon notes "old bell wheels at Canewdon have the garter holes at the 12 o-clock position when the bells are down"

A short handstroke, yes - but what you had at Canewdon is a set of bells hung for deadrope ringing. Not the same thing as the sort of short handstroke under discussion. Deadrope ringing has, though, been mostly forgotten about as a now obsolete style of bellhanging / ringing of which not-too-many examples now survive
