Thanks all,

 

I’ve gone for a candidate term of ‘bell frame’ under ‘building component’ and added the scope note from the components thesaurus!

 

That makes me happier than I was…

Hi Helen,

Further to Alice’s suggestion, there is an entry for Bell Frame in the Components thesaurus which might serve as the basis for a candidate term for a monument type.

Best wishes

Hi Helen,

 

I’d say that BELL FRAME is a perfect contender for a candidate term of its very own – I think we added it to the Norfolk HER (not least because my Dad had carried out a survey of historic timber bell frames in the county). Church Care have a database of bells and bell frames that they consider to be of historical significance : http://www.churchcare.co.uk/cathedrals/art-artefacts-conservation-cathedrals/caring-conservation-of-artworks-and-historic-furnishings-cathedrals/bells-bell-frames/bells-database and I am pretty sure there is some EH consultation guidance online too. One of these will surely contain a good definition that you could use in the thesaurus.

 

I definitely wouldn’t want to index your site as a findspot of a bell, not least because many historic bell frames are now devoid of bells (the bells having been taken away to be re-hung elsewhere or melted down as scrap). You might want to add any bell(s) hung in the frame as associated finds records.

 

Sorry this doesn’t immediately solve the problem.

 

Best wishes,

 

Alice

 

 

Hi all,

 

I just put Saltby bell frame onto our HER:

http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MLE22444&resourceID=1021

 

It was re-erected at Beaumanor Hall having been removed from the church in 1995.

 

I’m not happy about it being a findspot of a bell!  It should be a monument, I think, but I can’t decide what it should be, exactly…  Any ideas?
