Some neighbors say cathedral bells ring too long

From Louisiana-

St. Marks Episcopal Cathedral in Shreveport has a new set of bells - and some neighbors are unhappy about all the practice the bell-ringers are putting in.

The bells were made by the English foundry that made the Liberty Bell. They arrived late last year.

Some neighbors called KTBS-TV to say the bells sometimes ring for hours on end, especially on weekends. They ring for calls to services, religious holidays and during funerals, and during practice.

The Rev. Michael Millard says the only comments to the church have been positive. He says he'd like to hear from neighbors who are upset so they can discuss the matter.

Millard says the bell tower shutters are closed during practices to help muffle the noise.
