I remember seeing a sort of room above the top of the tower, that you could see into is that where the bells are? also, out of interest are there any steps up to the top of tower? such as if the lift failed you could still wind the clock. I would really love to go to the top of the tower one day to take photos and see the view!

I'm very grateful to Richard Jones for arranging permission, although when we got there - having driven up from Kent specially - I did have a bit of a fright when the chap who actually let us in (rather than the person who had given permission) had no idea we wanted to see the bells and was very reluctant to allow us up above the clock.
