Yvonne Tait, the bell ringer at St. John the Baptist, Norway in Toronto, takes part in a worldwide celebration June 20 highlighting the invention of the Ellacombe chimes ringing frame. Devised by the Rev. Henry Thomas Ellacombe 200 years ago, the mechanism allows a person to ring bells from the vestry without the need to ascend the church tower. It is still in use in many churches around the world today.
