Kettering

Things are seldom what they seem............ Coleorton have bought the 8th to replace their 7th and have it in their possession.

"Of the existing bells, numbers three to eight will be transferred to 
the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary at 
Attleborough, Norfolk, and the eleventh (cast in Kettering in 1722 by 
Thomas Eayres) will be retained in the tower. The remaining bells 
will be melted down and used in the casting of the new ring of 
thirteen." (SS Peter & Paul Kettering website)

Looks to me as if they know exactly where the old bells are going! 
It's the on-line newspaper that is rather vague on the matter.
