I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who has rung on the unringable
six at winterton or the five at fundenhall (which where rung from the
crossing), my dove's from 1976 has the latter as being ringable but by the
time that the sixth edition was published in 1982 they are listed simply as
a swing chime (although they don't appear as unringable until the 1988
edition). Winterton however is something of an enigma according to many
sources the bells where condemned because of frame defects but there is no
mention of when this was or when indeed they where last rung!, the NDACR
report lists them as being ringable in 1996 so I'm guessing this was in the
late 1990s?

 

Many thanks

Oliver lee
