In many of the sites on our tour of the Golden Ring we found bell towers where a single person could ring up to 36bells via series of ropes, chains, pedals..
There are a few photos below which give a flavour of this.
The final photo is a short video showing a demonstration rig of bells and the technique used to ring them.
