It's occurred to me that Monkwearmouth, Ven Bede could be linked to
something else in George Elphick's notes on bells in the Durham Diocese:
Deaf Hill, St Paul
1-5 No dimensions given c.1946?
Deaf Hill is one of a cluster of small ex-mining villages at Trimdon. It
has never appeared in Dove. The OS map shows a church, but without a tower
(NZ380361). This, and the fact that George Elphick wasn't able to inspect
them properly, suggests a clock chime in a spirelet with a lightish hour
bell - pretty much what seems to have existed at Monkwearmouth. So it is
just possible that the bells were transferred to Deaf Hill when the church
closed. If somebody on this e-list is based in East Durham, perhaps they
could go and have a look?

George Elphick doesn't mention it either, so I can only assume that this
church had disappeared before he did his survey work. I've checked the 1953
edition of Pevsner as well as the 1983 revised one but as you say there is
no mention of it.

Thanks for these details. Until and including the sixth (purple) edition
of Dove, there was also listed:
Monk Wearmouth, Co Durham, Ven. Bede, 6, 5 1/2cwt - Chiming only
I can't find this in Pevsner, nor does it appear in the subsequent
editions which listed chimes. Are there any details of this church and
bells?

The details I have for these churches are from notes made by George
Elphick in 1977/78. He gives the following:
Monkwearmouth St Peter
1/2 26 1/4 ins Mears & Stainbank 1903
2/2 28 1/2 ins Mears & Stainbank 1903
Monkwearmouth All Saints
1/1 17 7/8 ins J. Warner 1874
Disused 17ins Blank c. 1844
According to Pevsner the church is 1846-49 so the disused bell may be
slightly later than 1844.
Monkwearmouth St Aidan
1/1 No dimensions given 19th century?
This suggests that he wasn't able to inspect it.

Does anyone have details of the bells at churches near to my old
haunt
of Roker in Sunderland
St Peter's (2 bells, chiming only)
All Saints, Fulwell - a turret with ? bell(s)
St Aidan's - nice tower, don't know the contents of it. It is now a
house, but could have a nice little 6 put in it with the "right"
owner
of course!
Thanks
Mike
