This is the new 2nd of the augmented ring of eight for Hopton in Suffolk. It is now hung in the tower. If you look closely, you can see the rest of the Hopton bells on the floor behind the testing stand. They mostly date from 1629/1630. This bell was on display as part of the Taylors Open Day at the end of May 2010.

Good Video, I remember that lady from the day I went there with my tower.

at 1:30 it sounds optimal with optimal ringing angle

still waiting for someone to actually prove that this actually does something worthwhile apart from looking flash.......

whats the matter with testing the bells in the new frame if the tower is having one?

Plus just rewatched... the clappering is fine!

@KDowner94

The clapper had not yet been made for this paticular bell, so one was used from stock. As for grimyness, what the hell are you talking about? Good engineering is good engineering however dirty it is. Grow up.
