Episode 014: Linda Woodford on Bellhanging

  • Linda Woodford learned to ring in Boston, as part of the “Geoff Davies crew,” and apprenticed as a hanger at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
  • We discuss what makes one a likely ringer, ringing heavy bells, and enjoying the physicality of ringing and steeplekeeping.
  • Along the way Linda reminds us of a few things to keep our eyes and ears on, and advises us on taking care of our bells.

Thank you, friends.

Bells: Kent School ca. 2003, unknown band.
