    I’m a bellringer and i work for the NHS in nursing. The sound of this bell it’s open side, the reason for it ringing, plus haunting sound of the muffle moved me tears.

    Is the muffle on wrongly, or is the backstroke muffled on purpose?

      Ringing the bell on my own and out of personal choice of wanting to see the muffle it was placed this way around on this occasion, but normally it would be the other side, yes.

      @@DavidBraunton I suspected that was why it was where it was. Really love the sound of the muffled bell. I do wonder what a fully muffled bell would sound like - suspect we won't hear that until the death of the Sovereign.

    Kampanaphobia - fear of bells
    Pendulophobia - fear of swinging objects
    the sight of a vigorously swinging church bell isn't definitely the right place for a person having both these phobias.
