Cam­ panologists have written many books on bells. Yet although the two sub­ jects are so intimately related, rarely -if ever-have they been brought together in a single volume. Here the author, an acknowledged authority on the art of bell-ringing in all its phases who has made a special study of church towers and their history, describes many little­ known facts about the peculiar characteristics of bell towers-and many are distinctly odd. For ex­ ample, architects often omitted access to the upp~r floors of towers, since they ceased to be places of refuge in time of war. Every church has its own peculiar characteristics; so also have the towers and spires. No two are ex­ actly alike even though of the same period, and in this book we have examples of all the varying types and designs. The author is a well-known bell­ ringer who has rung peals in hun­ dreds of towers throughout the country, and his visits to towers and researches into their history have enabled him to write, with personal knowledge and experience, a fasci­ nating book for all who ever wished to climb to a bell-chamber.
