The honest answer is that no-one knows yet.  Their fate will be decided next week. They will not be destroyed, but there are alternatives, all of which meet the requirements of the faculty.

The Trustees have worked extremely hard over a period of more than two years to find a home for them. Many leads have proved fruitless. The homes that are contenders are not locations where they can be actually rung.

Needless to say there are many who would like to see them retained. As usual they always sound better the further you are from them - none of the local ringers or parishioners share this desire. In this particular case, owing to the fact that they are rust buckets, even the CBC feel there is no merit in their retention. And as most will know only 7 are ringable and those are declining fast.
