There is an article about the bells in the RW of Jan 14th 1983. It says the bells were last rung on 15th November 1978 at the opening of the Royal Free Medical School and Hospital, it being opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II.  It also says

"When the new hospital was planned the site chosen was closer to the church and when the foundations were dug, as early as 1964,  movement  began to show in the main  body of the church and ringing was stopped from about this time (perhaps one should say discouraged) while the situation was reviewed."

I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some more information about the now lost 27cwt 10 what where here until 1982?, from what I can work out the bells where regularly rung during the early 1900s but it would seem that peal ringing virtually ended in 1905. Many sources I have come across suggest that this might’ve been something to do with the royal free hospital but there are some vague references to there being a local band here in the 1950s so I wonder what exactly happened, There is also some suggestion that ringing was apparently “discouraged” due to subsidence but it would interesting to know if any quarter peals where rung on them prior to their removal.

Many thanks

Oliver lee
