A selection of completed bells, clappers, headstocks and wheels awaiting delivery. The wooden upright coming out of the red headstock is the stay, which prevents the bell making a complete rotation. Tales of bellringers being yanked up into the belfry would be due to the stay being broken and the bell spinning, winding the rope in. The floors are all wooden blocks.
