lovely sounding bells st stephen in brannel which is my home tower are about that weight and it is so nice to hear bells that weight being rung properly because we aint the best of ringers.
@ItsAlexOmg Some towers do this so that when visiting ringers come, they know which one's the treble. BUT, it could be that the old rope snapped, and they just put another one up, of different sally colour.
@fartwell2000 Just under a minute. The Devon ringers have the right idea, get the bells up as quickly as comfortable, as that is when the most faults are accrued.
