I don't think so. When I was Bristol DAC adviser, I was fairly certain that we managed to confine "canned" bells to Christ Church, Clifton, and Holy Trinity, Kingswood. I cannot remember others off hand.

Swindon 'New Church'.      A building in Southbrook Street in which an electric
gramophone is provided for bell-ringing, the loudspeakers being placed in a
