The bells in the loft space of their original location in Crowthorne. (The second is
hidden behind the tenor's wheel.) The only modification to the roof structure was the
addition of two 6" x 2" boards running at right angles to the joists. The
frames and headstocks were designed to fit between and around the roof trusses and the
whole assembly was designed to be easily removed. Although the original specification
allowed for an air-vent in the ceiling of the ringing room to increase the sound level,
it was subsequently realised that much of the sound was being 'lost' in the loft space
and a box was constructed (out of old internal doors) to encase the bells and 'force'
most of the sound downwards into the ringing room. The box had an easily removal lid to
allow access for inspection and maintenance. A similar box was constructed in the
bells' location in Waccabuc with excellent results.
The bells are now in the loft space again, with yet another box around them. Although they
were designed for the loft space in Crowthorne, they are, according to Matthew, a much
neater fit in their present situation.
