P1800068 - The answer is I don't know, a piece of wire on post 40 foot high holds the bell and it has a smaller wire for the knocker.

A K DOLVEN

TITLE: Out of Tune

Location: Old Rotunda site, seafront

Born: 1953 Oslo, Norway

Lives/Works: London and Lofoten, Norway

Since the 1990s Norwegian artist A K Dolven has worked with the idea of being at odds with one’s surroundings, and more specifically, for the past three years, with disused bells. ‘Out of Tune’ continues a series of similar titles such as ‘Out of Time’, ‘Out of Balance’ and ‘Out of Season’.

Folkestone Seafront, opposite The Leas Lift, CT20 1PX Dolven’s installation features a 16th-century tenor bell from Scraptoft Church in Leicestershire, which had been removed for not being in tune with the others. It will be suspended from a steel cable strung between two 20m high steel beams, placed 30m apart. The bell can be rung by visitors using a traditional rope bell-pull. citation
