PS. The School's own chapel has no bells that I know of.

When I lived in Kent, DOYRMS used to use St Mary's Parish Church, Dover as their chapel, but they might also have used nearby St Margaret at Cliffe, which, since 1977 has had a chime of eight.

I met someone today who referred to a bell ringing group at the above
school, which would have been around fifty or more years ago. He was
watching us ring and said that the bells weren't rung in the same way,
but he knew no more. An online search suggests that there are, or were
bells in the school chapel and in particular a news item records that
they were to be rung as part of the national ringing following the Notre
Dame fire, but I can find no details. I assume a small chime, perhaps
with an Ellacombe or similar. Does anyone have knowledge of these
bells?  I suspect that I am missing something that should be obvious.

Ted
