  British bells are quite different from those in most other parts of the world in that they can be used for change ringing, i.e. rung in a controlled manner. Not sure if that would be possible with bells from other countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_ringing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_ringing

    Absolutely. To clarify, by 'of this type' I meant change ringing bells - I'm sure there are plenty of people making bells - equipped to kit out a tower with a new frame of full circle bells must be less common.
