[Bell Historians] Harare (Salisbury) cathedral zimbabwe

[Tim Jackson]

I have sent a sketch of the frame layout direct to Oliver.  It is not my
diagram so I ought not to share it here without the permission of the owner
- but it is the same frame layout as Cape Town Cathedral, Kent School USA,
and Twickenham All Hallows.

I was wondering if anyone might know what exactly happened when the
cathedral was taken over by a excommunicated bishop in 2008?, according to
the obituary for teddy kabwemba (then tower captain)   the local band where
holding their AGM when this occurred and apparently they where abruptly
ordered out of the tower. Once they had left he apparently tried to retrive
his coat (which was still in the ringing chamber) but was “beaten” when he
tried to get back inside leaving him with serious heart complications, it
would interesting to know why he  was specifically targeted and why ringing
was banned for over 4 years. I was also wondering if there are any frame
plans, inscriptions or tuning figures for these bells as I don’t think I
have found them elsewhere. 

Many thanks
