" All Saints" Newcastle upon Tyne.

[davidhird_uk]

There is certainly nothing at All Sts now. Pity really a magnificent 
tower with an enormous ringing room and bell chamber complete with 8 
rope holes but no frame or bells. Internally I think the tower is 
bigger than the Cathedral and could take a large peal of bells.
