I think that the chime bells were put up a few years after the ten (1854) -=
in about 1857-8. The entry in Taylors' records is undated, but it's with o=
thers for the years 1857-8. The largest of the 14 chime bells weighed 6-1-1=
9 (I didn't note the weights of the others). There is a note "sold 1914-19"=
alongside the entry. I only noted this in passing, and I'm sure that more=
precise information could be found with a bit more delving.

There is a picture of the church and an extract from the Illustrated London=
News 20 Sept 1860 in the Taylor catalogue published in 1870=20

A bit of research tells me that the bells were cast at the same time=20
as the ten, Taylors 1854. The chiming bells were sold in 1914 to pay=20
for a new clock! I would still like to know if the two sets of bells=20
were "as one", or separate.
