@1BODGER95 There was no rope, apart from a few rotten windings round the spokes. We brought one with us. The bell seemed not to have been rung for a very long time, though someone appears to have screwed the missing pieces of shrouding back onto the wheel, presumably when the bell was dug out of the pigeon muck in recent years. The slider was missing but forunately it turned up in the clock room underneath a pile of discarded electrical conduit and benches.
WOW! I thought I heard this yesterday! And I thought I saw you all taking pictures of the church after it as I was driven past you. It's a beautiful bell isn't it. wondering how long it'd be before I finally heard it. Did you replace the rope or is it still the original from East Crompton?

@SrWilson3s i've heard that due to structural defects that this isn't possible? can anyone enlighten me?
