Thank you, George, for the details of Mawnan bells. Dunkins account looks=
pretty awful but the bells are being rung regularly and from my experience=
don't go too badly. They were rung non-stop for 12hours on August 31st 200=
2 as a fund raising event for their new bells! Fortunately the Church is fa=
irly isolated and most of the sound floated out over the Helford river! I'm=
afraid I have no idea as to where the old bells are heading, but I could m=
ake enquiries if you feel it might be of historical value?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the net as you are aware but as you all ce=
rtainly know your stuff (!!) perhaps someone out there has details of the c=
urrent three bells at Mawnan? I understand that these bells are to be sold =
shortly and be replaced with a new six to be supplied by Whitechapel. Any d=
ata would be gratefully received
