Yes! I have been there.

There is one bell (¢12cwt) looks about late 19thC English casting. It 
has a vast inscription but is hung about 15 feet up, under the tower 
roof. The fittings are shot to bits and the bell looked as if it could 
fall out at any time. There is however, a massive pile of bird sh*t 
below it which should cushion it's fall! The tower is massive but in 
very poor shape indeed. I seem to remember multiple rope holes in the 
stone floors if that's any help.

I have some pictures somewhere.
