Thank you, George, for the details of Mawnan bells. Dunkins account looks p=
retty awful but the bells are being rung regularly and from my experience d=
on't go too badly. They were rung non-stop for 12hours on August 31st 2002 =
as a fund raising event for their new bells! Fortunately the Church is fair=
ly isolated and most of the sound floated out over the Helford river! I'm a=
fraid I have no idea as to where the old bells are heading, but I could mak=
e enquiries if you feel it might be of historical value?
