This book traces the history of church bells and bell-ringing in the Christian Church, and more particularly in the Church of England, from their inception to the present day. From their humble origins in the early ages of Christianity, the author describes the important role bells played in religious ceremonies and their development across Europe, leading to the familiar shape and sound with which we are accustomed today. The book traces the evolution of bell founding as an art form and explores the technical innovations, such as methods of casting and tuning, which have led to the creation of some of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring bells in the world. The author also looks at the uses made of bells beyond religious worship, such as their use in carillons and chimes, and the fascinating pastime of change ringing.
