<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Matthew,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Filey was originally a three bell tower, three
old bells, with all three being by Samuel Smith of York. The treble became
cracked and a replacement bell was installed. At that time
all four were hung dead in the three bell frame. Bells treble
and replacement being in the treble pit . Hence the wheel which dates from
the time when they were rehung dead.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In 1981 the two smallest bells were taken out
and sent to the foundry. In return the light six were installed around the
two old bells 2 and 3 hung dead in their pits.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a) the two old bells are
"listed"(1689,<WBR>1700)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) the frame is "listed"</FONT></DIV>
