<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I met someone today who referred to a bell ringing group at the above
<br>
school, which would have been around fifty or more years ago. He was <br>
watching us ring and said that the bells weren't rung in the same way, <br>
but he knew no more. An online search suggests that there are, or were <br>
bells in the school chapel and in particular a news item records that <br>
they were to be rung as part of the national ringing following the Notre <br>
Dame fire, but I can find no details. I assume a small chime, perhaps <br>
with an Ellacombe or similar. Does anyone have knowledge of these <br>
bells? I suspect that I am missing something that should be obvious.<br>
