I sent a reply to this but it never appeared.

 

Just wanted to say that when Whitechapel inspected on 19 May 1899 they noted three bells in a frame for more (seven pits shown in the sketch plan). The bells were all by Warner, 1882 – 1. 33.5” C, 2. 44” F, 3. 49” E flat (clearly bells 3, 7 and 8 of an octave). The parish records at The London Archives include an estimate for the cost of five extra bells, May 1899 (presumably Mears, but as I haven’t seen the document I can’t be sure). So far as I know, no further bells were installed.

 

Evidently these were the bells that were destroyed in the War
