style='font-size:10.0pt'>Well, I have been back to the Westminster Archives
Centre. And on checking through again, I now think that the report of 12 bells
in the tower was incorrect. All other reports state 10 or 11 bells. Depending
on whether or not they counted in the Sanctus bell.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span lang=EN-GB

will take a camera on my next visit to the Centre, and copy the picture. This
will be then posted on this web site.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt'>My assumption, for assumption it was, that the bells were
rung from the present belfry before the war was also proved wrong. The picture
shows that the bells were rung from the fist floor of the tower. Now the
Resident Chaplains office.</span></font></p>
