Helen Springthorpe was knocked unconscious in the tower of St Nicholas Church, Bathampton, near Bath, Somerset on Monday night.

Authorities said the campanologist, who had only been in the job for three months, was "thrown around the belfry" after tripping and becoming "entangled in a bell ringing rope".

I guess any job has its dangers, glad he didn't get seriously hurt.

Thank you!!!

Brings an old joke to mind about the dead ringer....
Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

Geeze, that gal really gets 'tangled' up in her work. She's a 'dead-ringer' for a hard worker. ;D
