	Bellringing
		Bellringing (or more specifically, the art of "English Change-Ringing") is quite possibly one of the most misunderstood hobbies ever.
		And, given that there are so many bad movies that depict people jumping up and down on the end of bell-ropes, it isn't all that surprising that people have no idea what ringing really is. Therefore, in order to explain what it is, it is easier to begin by explaining what it isn't.
		There's nothing like the feeling of finally getting a method right that you've been trying to learn for weeks/months.

	Bellringing · The age old art of ringing chruch bells
		The bellringer makes the bell do what he wants by making small adjustments as it approaches and then moves away from the top of the stroke.
		A major aim in bellringing is to achieve “good striking” which means everyone getting their bell to ring at exactly the right moment so that the sound is even with no clashes and no large gaps - and when it’s done well it sounds very good.
		It is made tricky by the fact that on each stroke the bell doesn’t ring when you pull on the rope but about three quarters of the way through the swing, not long before you pull for the next stroke.

	Ring masters - The Boston Globe
		The members of the MIT Guild of Bellringers are practitioners of what is called "change ringing." They strive to follow a pattern of notes called a method, instead of a sequence of notes forming a song.
		Bellringing might seem an unlikely team sport for engineers and math wizards, but Cally Perry, the ringing master at the Church of the Advent, said they go hand in hand.
		Each of the eight bells at Old North and the Church of the Advent are numbered, beginning with the lightest bell, the treble, number one, and progressing to the heaviest, the tenor, at number eight.

	Stonham Aspal Village pages - Bellringing
		The good Squire was a keen bellringer, but found the five bells to limit the range of methods (roughly equivalent to tunes) he wished to ring.
		Perhaps this is because whilst people within a five-mile radius of Stonham Aspal will have heard the bells, almost no one ascends the steep wooden stairs on the left of the church porch to see the ringers in action.
		Perhaps this is the main reason that the bellringers slake their thirst in the Ten Bells pub after rather than before they ring.
