About
Ringing bells by rope and wheel is an Art and Science almost exclusive to the British Isles. The majority of the remaining towers with bells hung in 'English fashion' are to be found in Australia and the USA.
We cannot boast of creating the tradition of playing orthodox music on large bells. This is essentially the domain of the Low Countries of Belgium, Holland and Northern France where it flourished and reached its peak in the latter half of the 17th century. The centre of the art was at Malines in Belgium where today the Royal Carillon School founded by Chevalier Jef Denyn is located. The art of bell-founding diminished in the 18th and 19th centuries and it was not until the advent, in England, of the perfectly tuned bell that the interest in Carillons was revived.
