Five Bells to Six Bells....a tour idea

[Trickedem]

Was chatting to a friend last night who lives very close to a pub called the Five Bells. He fancied a roast dinner there, but they told him that they weren't doing hot meals because of the the heat. Anyway, he looked around locally and discovered that another pub nearby called the Six Bells was doing dinners.
He went on the bus, from his local bus stop which was outside the the Five Bells, to the Six Bells, which he thought was rather amusing and he does have a way of telling his stories, so made us all laugh.

Anyway, it did occur to me that this could form an interesting tour. From a Bell pub past 2,3,4 etc. all the way to 10.
Going to have to do it quick as it looks like the only 2 Bells pub I could find in the UK has closed down. Also I can't find a Seven Bells anywhere.

"Boxer's Bar", knocking seven bells out of each other?

You could find a Brakspear 'Bell' pub (Old Bell in Henley for instance) and have a pint of Two Bells?

The 6 bells in Horley is 700 years old - but closed currently after a major fire.

The last pub might be interesting: Bell end.

and celebrate with a ring of bells ?

The tour alone sounds like fun, but for added interest you could require those attending to mark the time on the tour in Bells.
A rota would have to be arranged among those present to sound a bell every 30 minutes and anyone failing to ring the appropriate number of bells would be buying the beer at the next pub.
