Unpealed rings of 8 - Cawston

[Paul Cubitt]

>From the village web site:

#Within the tower is a mediaeval bell frame and eight bells, Six of the eight bells are dated from 1658 to 1753, one having been recast in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. This, in spite of a great effort after the First World War when two new bells were hung dead. The other two were added in 1925 at a cost of £235.00, and were cast at the Lough­borough Bell Foundry. The smallest bell weighs 5 cwt, the largest 13 cwt, the bells no longer ring, but only chime.
