[Genealib] Bell ringing?

[Phyllis Rickard]

Good morning.

This isn't exactly genealogy, but it's just the sort of thing that one of us could have learned in the course of our searching.

I have a patron who has acquired a 150-year-old church bell. He is now interested in learning about the different types of rings (peels) and their meanings. How it would have been rung for different purposes, such as weddings, funerals, etc.

I have searched online and have found some web sites what might be able to help him. Most are based in the UK. While they don't have any direct info on the site, they can surely help him if he contacts them.

I wanted to know if anyone here knows of any site that would have information on their site. If it's out there, I didn't find it.

Thank you!
