Great British story

[Chris Pickford]

Haven't seen this mentioned yet and I missed the original broadcast, but 
one of the Halesowen ringers has just brought it to my attention.

The episode in the Michael Wood series 'The Great British Story' on BBC2 
broadcast last Friday, featured the Halesowen ringers narrating an item 
showing a bell being cast at Loughborough, reading extracts from their 
churchwarden's accounts regarding a bell cast in the churchyard in 1620.
Currently the episode (no. six) is available on the iPlayer, linked from 
the programme home page http://www.bbc.co.uk/greatbritishstory/ I 
haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm told the bit featuring Halesowen 
starts at 2:36, with further clips at 31:30 and 30 seconds of ringing at 
53:12

A bit of genuine bell history - on the telly
