Burnham-on-Sea is a town in Somerset, England, at the mouth of the River Parrett and Bridgwater Bay. Burnham was a small fishing village until the late 18th century, when it began to grow because of its popularity as a seaside resort.
It forms part of the parish of Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge and shares a town council with its neighbouring market town of Highbridge. The position of the town on the edge of the Somerset Levels and moors where they meet the Bristol Channel, has resulted in a history dominated by land reclamation and sea defences since Roman times. Burnham was seriously affected by the Bristol Channel floods of 1607, with the present curved concrete wall being completed in 1988. There have been many shipwrecks on the Gore Sands, which lie just offshore and can be exposed at low tides. Lighthouses are hence prominent landmarks in the town, with the original lighthouse known as the Round Tower built to replace the light on the top of the 14th century tower of St Andrews Church. The 110-foot (34-metre) pillar or High Lighthouse and the low wooden pile lighthouse or Lighthouse on legs on the beach were built to replace it. The town's first lifeboat was provided in 1836 by the Corporation of Bridgwater.
A stone pier was built in 1858 by the Somerset Central Railway. Soon afterwards, in 1860, a steamer service to Wales was inaugurated, but it was never a commercial success, and ended in 1888. Burnham-on-Sea railway station was the terminus of the Burnham branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. It opened in 1858, closed to scheduled passenger traffic in 1951, and stopped being used for excursions in 1962. The former Great Western Railway station is now known as Highbridge and Burnham. A second pier, built of concrete between 1911 and 1914, is claimed to be the shortest pier in Britain.
Burnham-on-Sea is notable for its beach and mudflats, the danger they pose to individuals and shipping, and the efforts to which locals have gone in defending their town and preventing loss of life. Burnham is close to the estuary of the River Parrett where it flows into the Bristol Channel, which has the second highest tidal range in the world.
The original lighthouse, known as the Round Tower, was built after the local vicar, either John Goulden in 1764 or Walter Harris in 1799, raised a subscription amongst the local population to replace the light on the top of St Andrews Church tower. The four-storey Round Tower was built next to the church. A 900 ft (270 m) stone pier was erected in 1858 by the Somerset Central Railway. Soon afterwards, in 1860, a steamer service to Wales was inaugurated, but it was never a commercial success, and ended in 1888. The pier retains its railway lines under a surface coating of concrete.
Burnham-on-Sea railway station was the terminus of the Burnham branch of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway, but the tracks continued onto the jetty, where ferry services to South Wales could be boarded. The station opened in 1858 as Burnham, and was renamed Burnham-on-Sea in 1920. It closed to scheduled passenger traffic in 1951 and stopped being used for excursions in 1962.

Bourne S Minor at Zeals, WIlts
Excerpt from a quarter peal of Bourne on this Wiltshire six; a very rare tower beginning with a Z! Cast by Mears and Stainbank in 1876, they were deemed unringable for many years due to fears over the safety of the tower and spire. In 2010, they were rehung lower in the tower by Nicholson's. They sound pleasant, although the treble is very shrill inside, but the go is not brilliant, and the bells are heinously oddstruck, making good ringing on them hard to achieve.
Grateful thanks to Rosalind Martin for the use of the sound recording, filmed from outside the tower about 5 minutes into the quarter.

4-Spliced S Major at Longcot, Oxon (Part 1)
Longcot are an average ground-floor 8cwt 8 which have good sound control and are the local peal factory!!
These were an unringable 6, all 1722 Abraham II Rudhall, (except the 3 (ex-treble) which is 1729 Abraham II Rudhall,) until 1998 when they were rehung by Hayward Mills, and two Taylor trebles added, most likely as a Millennium project. They now go quite well and sound nice, but they do take some ringing as every single bell is, in one way or another, quite oddstruck!!
Anyway, this is Part One of a bit of 4-Spliced on a monthly Surprise Major Practice. I think the methods in this part are Pudsey and Yorkshire, but I may be wrong. Part Two to follow soon, which will be shorter, but better quality, mostly because on this one Britain's infamous wind decided it wanted to be even more infamous by getting in the way for the umpteenth time!! So sorry but enjoy anyway!!
