Spoken with the tower contact, basically the story is as follows.  Bigbury 
is near the sea ( Bigbury on sea) and when the bells were recently inspected 
there was significant corrosion to the frame and supporting beams , to the 
point where the Diocesan Bell Advisor suggested that the bells should not be 
rung until the frame was  cleaned off so that an informed decision could be 
made as to the effective strength of both, there are also a few other issues 
such as rotten floors, asbestos in there tower etc which need to be sorted 
out. There are also some tower and spire issues.

The  PCC approached the Dioceses for advice and were basically told that if 
any thing went wrong the Team vicar , churchwardens and all could be 
personally liable hence whilst the bells are now shown as U/R

On a positive note I understand that there are moves afoot to get things 
sorted

Regards

Robert
