Good to see the old bells documented alongside their replacements. It would be interesting to note in the description of each old bell what happened to it, as they were not all recast – Geoff

Please feel free to leave comments on each bell’s post saying what happened to it – I only know for sure about the three old ones – and I will incorporate the information into the post. Thank you.
