The bells were rehung and retuned in 2021 by Blyth & Co so they are now fully ringable. This video was recorded in 2019 to ring the old bells, that had been unringable for over 50 years, for the final time so that the parish could have heard the old bells ringing before the work was undertaken. This followed weeks of work and patching of the ancient fittings to ensure the bells could be safely rung for 20 minutes or so.

It was an absolute nightmare on the ears, but now retuned and wow what a difference.

Hi Paul,
The bells are hung in two frames, one above the other. 1,2,3 on the bottom and 4,5,6 on the top.
