Draft:List of public bell-ringing places
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This MIGHT BECOME a list of notable, significant places where individual bells (and carillons?) can be wrung by the public.
- Ireland
- Church of St Anne, Shandon, former(?) Church of Ireland church where visitors who pay a few pounds can climb __ steps to its "first floor" (and __ further to the bells at the top of the tower). You can pull a tune like "Don't cry for me Argentina" (not mentioned in foodandtravel source but other tunes are)[1]
- United States
- Not sure if Mayer Red Brick Schoolhouse can be included, would need a source that its historic school bell can be rung by visitors to the school district offices that occupy it. Can that properly be said to be open to the public?

There exists List of carillons, which are played by keyboards only? It doesn't include Church of St Anne, Shandon, because that is in Ireland and while it includes sublist of those in the "British isles", so northern Ireland, or is the nation of Ireland included? Or is it excluded because it might have an automated system to play the bells? The bells can definitely be played individually. I think you have to wind up something to be able to power the bell-pulling? Or is that electric-powered and therefore not legit for list of carillons?
There is Cornell Chimes, but that is not included in List of carillons in the United States, why not?
Other lists of bells that exist (now put into new Category:Lists of bells):
- List of heaviest bells
- List of carillons
- List of Hitler bells
- Is there a List of bell towers?
OR, INSTEAD PERHAPS
This is a list of notable individual bells? and bell towers? and carillons? There are 97 members of Category:Bell towers in the United States. E.g. Albany City Hall has a bell tower with a carillon involving 49 bells. How about listing bells, bell towers, and carillons in the United States by state? And which ones are open to the public could be noted.
