And it would be highly unlikely that they would be "ringable" now!
Surely another give-away that the frame has been installed level is
that the bells swinging N-S appear level in their pits. :-)
It would be entertaining trying to ring them if they were hung
parallel with the stone courses!
Interesting to note that the original installation has all swinging N-
S, with the exception of the then 7th and 8th. Two trebles of 12
(top tier) now swing E-W as well.
