[Bell Historians] Re: Christ Church Oldbury, West Mids

[Michael Wilby]

They've been rung much more recently than that, though
not in my time in Birmingham. Tony Daw rang on them
in the 80s - they were quite rough, but not
unringable. I understand the reason they're
"unringable" now is that the church was reordered
(partially converted into office accommodation) and a
heating system or something installed in the ringing
room. Apparently there is nowhere to ring them from
now.

Stan Mason learnt to ring there.

Ian Thompson told me he had lost a peal on them. 
Anyway, the last 
peal on the bells was on 26/6/54 - suggesting problems
soon 
afterwards of some kind.
