Michael Wilby assembled a laerge collectipon of change ringing from around the UK. 'Most of the recordings are of peals and are taken from the ringing room, thus what is presented here is much as the band heard it at the time: rope noise, clapper rattle and all. While this is not necessarily the best position from which to record bells, I believe it gives an interesting - and honest - appraisal of the rings of bells in question, from the perspective of the practioners.' They are available in MP3 format. Whitechapel Bell Foundry. 'For the past
two and a half centuries, Whitechapel have been acknowledged leaders in the production of musical handbells. Handbell ringing began

Indeed, it can be said that the whole art of handbell ringing - making molten metal into liquid sound - was built on Whitechapel handbells.'
