<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Background: The eight steel bells were rehung with
part new fittings, and with extraordinary devotion, by volunteer labour 18
years ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bearings: They were a light shafting type, the sort
Richard will be familiar with as fitted to the bells at St Alphege, Whitstable,
but larger of course.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What happened: A gudgeon or a bearing housing
broke, with like effect on its opposite number and the bell fell into its
pit.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Guidance from above, perhaps. But they have a
strong band and competent leadership with plans for the
future.</FONT></DIV>
