<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Glad to hear the bells are ok. No quarter peals
rung here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But, does any one know the frequency of church
fires over the years? It may show some alarming figures. </FONT></DIV>

<BR>reported briefly with a picture in this week's Church Times
(p.4).<BR><BR>The Church's website has nothing about it yet, but says this
about the bells:<BR><BR>"There are four bells in the bell tower. The first
and third are by <BR>Miles Graye 1619; the second is probably by William
Wightman dated <BR>1682 and the fourth probably by Richard Keene 1702. The
bells were <BR>not heard for about thirty years as the tower was
considered unsafe <BR>for change ringing, but in 1998 they were repaired
and re-hung by the <BR>Whitechapel Bell Foundry with a chiming mechanism,
as part of our <BR>year 2000
preparations.<WBR>"<BR><BR>RAL<O></O></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
