l AM disgusted at the treatment of the York bell ringers.
As the fourth largest peal in the country, it is no mean feat to ring.
I have rung at Liverpool Cathedral, the heaviest ring, and, my, is that daunting.
It seems that the Dean and Chapter has no conception of what is involved in ringing and would not have the knowledge to appoint ringers.
The Bishop of Bolton is to be consecrated at York next week. Shame there will be no bells for that.
Bell ringing is struggling to attract new members and attitudes like this would put people off.
