My understanding is that the original bells continued to hang in the old 
tower and were rung from there for a while before being transferred to 
the new church. Whether they were the same bells that were destroyed in 
the fire of 1955 I am not quite sure. I think they were but there may 
have been recastings along the way. No doubt someone else can furnish 
precise details.
