In Autumn 2007, the bells of St. Mark's, Cheltenham were finally restored. The old "challenging" ring of five were augmented to eight and re-tuned. This series of six chapters documents the manual work undertaken in support of the project.
One note of correction for YT viewers here: bell bronze is typically about 80% copper, 20% tin. The "30% copper 70% tin" note mentioned at 1:05 is inaccurate and would not work.
