Stannington Sunday Bells
The bells of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Stannington in Northumberland
This imposing village church is a Victorian rebuild of 1871. The main benefactor was Sir Matthew White Ridley, 4th Baronet of nearby Blagdon Hall. His son, also Matthew White Ridley, would later be promoted to Viscount. Blagdon remains the family seat to this day.
The eight bells in this church were added much later in 1934 and were cast by John Taylor & Co. of Loughborough. Tuned to the musical note Db Major, the heaviest bell weighs 30 cwt - 1 qtr - 16 lb (~1.5 tonnes)!
In most UK churches, bells are mounted on a wheel and are turned full circle (360 degrees, see One person controls one bell in the tower. However, at Stannington, the bells are hung stationary (dead) off a beam across the tower and are all played by one person known as a carillonneur. The clappers are connected to a clavier further down the tower and the clavier is played much like a piano (see

Emily Davison
Emily Wilding Davison (11 October 1872 – 8 June 1913) was a militant activist who fought for women's suffrage in Britain. She was jailed on nine occasions and force-fed 49 times. She is best known for stepping in front of King George V's horse Anmer at the Epsom Derby on 4 June 1913, sustaining injuries that resulted in her death four days later. Emily Davison's funeral on 14 June 1913 was organised by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Thousands of suffragettes accompanied the coffin and tens of thousands of people lined the streets of London. After a service in Bloomsbury her coffin was taken by train to the family grave in Morpeth, Northumberland.
Modern historians agree that Davison was trying to disturb the Derby in order to draw attention to her cause, rather than to commit suicide, and 2013 analysis of newsreel has supported the idea that Davison was reaching up to attach a scarf to the bridle of the King's horse. Analysis of newsreel also indicated that her position before she stepped out onto the track would have given her a clear view of the oncoming race, further countering the belief that she ran out in a haphazard way to kill herself.
