As to the bells, there are five, supplied by M&S in 1904 through J.W. Benson
Ltd, the clockmakers. Alan Hughes gave the details in a letter in RW 1983
p.136 - 1. 24.5" 3-2-9, 2. 26.625" 4-0-2, 3. 28" 4-1-9, 4. 32" 6-1-13, 5.
38" 9-0-9.

 

A letter in RW 1983 p.69 says they are clocked, and another (p.339) says
they are chimed on Sunday mornings. There's more detail, with photographs,
in RW 1985 p.969

 

There may be some more recent stuff than this, but this is a summary from
the information I have in my card index
