Cheadle bells were invoiced out from Whitechapel on 15 October 1845. Howeve=
r, they weren't the first ring of bells in a Roman Catholic church in Engla=
nd since the reformation. That honour goes (though do correct me if I'm wro=
ng) to the ring of six of 1844 by C & G Mears at St.John the Evangelist at =
Kirkham, Lancs.

Other early rings in RC churches include Thurnham (1848), Rainhill (1848), =
Clapham (1851) and the original steel eight (1860) at Sheffield later trans=
ferred to Moseley
