<P>Yesterday I had the opportunity to ring at this tower. I was very impressed
and it is much better than I had anticipated. Whilst the tower is a bit wobbly
the bells handle well. Except for the Vicarage there appears to be no
residential property in the immediate area but there appears to have been no
peals rung on them. Is there a reason for this?<BR><BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --></BODY></HTML>
