I gather they were traced as being cast by Pannell - I think One is being 
retained and retuned - I'm not sure whats happening to the others. The tower 
is only ¢8 feet square internally and the ground floor chamber forms an 
entrance porch to the Church. There is no way that a 8cwt six could be hung 
for ringing there, If people are interested in the sound - I'll happily send 
the sound clip of them which I took about a year ago.

The medieval 5th & tenor sound excellent - the tenor has true harmonics & the 
5th not far off.
