[Bell Historians] Cullercoates

[davidhird_uk]

I dont know the truth about when they were hung for chiming other 
than local stories but I do know the chime is definitely not in good 
working order. It is rarely used now and is in a poor state. What is 
worse is the state of the straps holding the bells onto the stocks 
and the tie bars in the frame which have corroded right through. 
They are dangerous.

Cullercoates, Tyne & Wear, S. George, 4, 22cwt. David Hird believes 
they were rung prior to WW2 and re-hung for chiming after WW2. Does 
anyone have a more precise date (year) for the conversion to chiming?
