So far as I know it behaves itself now - they had a pulley and clapper
overhaul a few years ago. They are an excellent eight - front four installed
in an 8-bell frame in 1925 - money was short hence only four were installed.
The 5th and 6th were added in the following year, and the two tenors in
1945.
