Yes - Alan has provided me with some useful information on St Chad's for th=

Yes, I think I put some pictures of them on the pictures page as well. They=
still have their clappers (and I think they still have their canons) and c=
an be clocked by ropes which go from the flights of the clappers to the Ell=
acombe rack on the wall. The tower is now converted into a house for the ow=
ners of the craft market which is in the body of the church.
