Former Mini-Ring Directory
The table, together with the table of former portables, describes all the known former mini-rings. I also maintain a list of extant portable and non-portable mini-rings.
For more information about any of them either follow the associated link or e-mail me. Also, please email me with any additions or corrections.
Roughly speaking, the criteria for inclusion are either that the ring was in private ownership with a tenor weight of around two hundredweight or less, or that the ring was in public ownership with a tenor weight of around one hundredweight or less. The number of bells in the diatonic ring is shown with the number of semitones indicated in parenthesis, where applicable.
The former Stoulton Campanile has been relocated to Little Eaton, Derbyshire.
Several previously unlisted former mini-rings have come to light. In addition, it has been reported that the Overton Campanile was not scrapped but is instead in storage.
Those rings marked '+' were ceramic bells; those marked '#' were also portable; and those marked '##' were also partially portable. The TowerBase identifier (TB Id) assists with looking up the correct mini-ring in TowerBase or Felstead.
A link is provided to the subsequent instance of the ring (if any) within this directory. Transferred rings include those that are now portable. A link is also provided to the previous instance of the ring (if any) within this directory.
