History of the Old St. Martin Bells We Know That There Were Three Bells In
History of the Old St. Martin Bells We know that there were three bells in 1552. The so-called Edwardian Inventory of that year lists “iij litle belles a saunce bell”. One of the mediaeval bells survives as the third bell in the present ring, inscribed with a dedication to St.Martin. This bell has distinctive gothic lettering with a cross and fleur- de-lis mark found on several bells found mainly in churches in or near Staffordshire. On the basis of their geographical distribution H.B. Walters conjectured that they were cast at Lichfield, suggesting a date “not later than 1350” and linking them with a founder named Henry Mitchell mentioned in 1313 This is all very tenuous, however, and the shape of this bell and its mouldings suggest a much later date towards the end of the fourteenth century or later. Walters also suggests that this ancient bell may have been the tenor of the pre-Reformation ring. He cites no evidence, and whether or not this is so is unclear. We do know, however, that the bells were augmented to five and probably increased in weight in 1638-40 through the generosity of Robert Durant and Sir Robert Berkeley. Durant paid for the casting (or recasting) of two bells, now the fourth and fifth dated 1638. Sir Robert is said to have laid out over £100 in mending and increasing the ring of bells in 1640, at which time he caused a new treble and a new tenor to be made. This evidently refers to the predecessor of the present second (recast in 1833) and the tenor, which was known as Berkeley’s bell. -
Method 'Splicing'
THE CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler A Central Council publication CENTRAL COUNCIL OF CHURCH BELL RINGERS ––––––––––––––––– Methods Committee Method ‘Splicing’ PRACTICAL HINTS by John P. Fidler WITH INTRODUCTION ‘The Theory and Practice of Splicing’ by Joseph W. Parker ––––––––––––––––– SECOND EDITION ––––––––––––––––– 1995 ISBN No. 0-900271-35-3 EDITORIAL NOTES This book was first published in 1925 and comprised a series of articles entitled Hints on splicing and ringing Minor Methods by John P. Fidler, which were reprinted from The Ringing World, together with an introduction by Joseph W. Parker. In preparing the text for this edition some changes to the original text have been considered desirable. The earlier work relied on the availability of the Central Council Collection of Legitimate Methods, 1907 and referred by number to methods which appeared in that publication. These references have been replaced by the actual names of the methods and all the method names have been brought up- to-date. Furthermore, whole leads of the thirty-five methods rung at Norbury have been included. In this edition we have followed the modern conventions that the first blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead end, the last blow of the treble’s full lead is called the lead head and that the name of the method is shown next to the lead head. In the first edition inconsistent and possibly confusing notations were used. Third’s place Delight and Fourth’s place Delight are no longer considered to be separate classes and so this distinction has been removed. -

The Bells, Clock and Carillon of Worcester Cathedral
The bells, clock and carillon of Worcester Cathedral. Statement of Significance General overview The whole ensemble of clock, carillon and bells (these since recast) was very much a great Victorian showpiece - a wonder of the age. It cost £5000 (£566,000 today) and was paid for by the Earl of Dudley. It was a hugely ambitious project - a co-ordinated inter-disciplinary scheme (new bells, clock and carillon all at the same time) and on an impressively large scale. Everything was done to the very highest technical standards of the time - taking advantage of the latest innovations and at the same time breaking new ground in applying skills and knowledge to create an installation on a scale not previously contemplated or realised. Installed as part of the great Victorian restoration of the Cathedral which took place chiefly between 1864 and 1874, the clock and bells scheme (with the carillon as an afterthought) was the brainchild of Canon Richard Cattley. Cattley who undertook the fund-raising also steered the whole project through from inception to completion, drawing on the expertise of the leading authorities of the day and working with experienced and innovative bellfounders and clockmakers best qualified to undertake such a challenging commission. The professionals and advisers involved were A E Perkins, the Cathedral Surveyor responsible for the tower restoration between 1863-9 and Sir Edmund Beckett Denison (later known as Lord Grimthorpe) who was regarded as the great expert on clocks and bells The principal contractors and suppliers -

Church Bells
CHURCH BELLS A ring of bells will typically involve 1 to 5 tons of moving metal and so should be considered as heavy machinery. Full-circle ringing puts the greatest demands on the bellframe and tower. To carry the large forces created, the bellframe should be as stiff as possible and should be rigidly attached to the tower, otherwise the bells will be difficult to control. Problem Areas In general, neglect does far more damage than regular use. Attention to the following will do much to keep the bell installation in good order: easy safe access ample lighting (2 x 5' fluorescents as a minimum, more in a large belfry) attention to cleanliness exclusion of rain - immediate repair of roof leaks or broken louvres exclusion of birds - all openings fitted with galvanised heavy wire mesh. Accumulations of dirt and bird droppings, especially when damp, encourage decay of timber and corrosion of ironwork. The main supporting beams are particularly susceptible to this; the ends of timber beams built into damp masonry are prone to rot. Bolts may be fractured by rust build-up and lamination of steel beams; such build-up underneath cast iron frame members can break off their flanges. With bells hung outside, corrosion of ironwork is worsened and timber headstocks deteriorate more rapidly. Access for maintenance is often awkward. Heavily galvanised or stainless steel headstocks and fittings should be considered where regular painting would be impractical. Bells may be cracked by: Cast-in crown staples. The iron corrodes and expands, putting the crown of the bell in tension, and a crack then starts. -

Ross French Climbs the Bell Tower of The
Official Publication of the Sand Lake Historical Society Volume 29, Number 2 Winter 2003 Upcoming Meetings December 10 will be our Christmas Party at 6:30 p.m. at Sand Lake Baptist Church. Bring your favorite dish to share. Also bring a Christmas artifact and/or memory for a Christmas Show & Tell. January 14, 2003, at 7:30 p.m., Eugene Burns, a neighbor of the Andrew Meneely family in Watervliet (West Troy) , will give a slide program on Meneely Bells. When the foundry closed in 1952, he was able to get postcards returned from the western territories before they became states and has quite a collection of them. February 11 will be Historical Video Night. We’re dusting off our collection and reviewing them to bring you our best selections. On March 11, Caryn Neidringhaus, a professional fiddler, and her students will do a program on the history of Hudson River fiddling, from its origin in Scotland. This should be a good, toe-tapping time. Sand Lake Heritage Day Linda Ormsby, Ginny McGreevy, Bea Danks and Marion Hacker are working on a Sand Lake Heritage Day in the spring. Many families have old pictures, documents or letters that would add to the store of local history. Often these are treasured keepsakes. This is a way for you to share those items. You can bring them in, have them copied and take them home with you. At the same time you can view our exhibits and learn about our town's history. We’ll keep you posted! Where is this man going? Ross French climbs the bell tower of the Zion United Church of Christ, Taborton, to view their bell.See that bell and many others in the town, in our feature article inside!
