BELL-RINGING
Sir -I write to congratulate you on your excellent article on bell-ringing. May I add a little extra information on ringing in New Zealand. There are several bands practising handbell ringing in the country. At Christchurch Cathedral we have a good band who Jing the, fine ring of ten bells (tenor 32cwt.) every Tuesday and Sunday, followed by a handbell practice of method ringing. Dunedin has a band of four ringers, who have rung a peal of 5000 changes on handbells, the only complete handbell peal rung in New Zealand. Then New Plymouth has a band of schoolchildren learning ringing. In Wanganui ‘another old English ringer has a band practising, I believe, so that it is not nearly such a lost art as Mr. Ambrose imagines. St. Paul’s, Papanui, Christchurch, has a dear little ring of five bells (tenor 64acwt.) where tinging is practised, the inscription on the Tenor Bell being the appropriate "We Sing the Lord’s Song in a Strange T.and."
