is on January 15th from 12:00 -14:00 prior to their removal the following day.
There will be a £3 charge per person.<br><br>The bells will be replaced with a
ring of 10 weighing 18 and a half hundredweight. Seven bells will be cast to
G&J profiles to match 3 bells rescued from Greenock. All the work will be
