Notes
All on plain bearings, with wooden headstocks, and canons removed. The cast-in crown staples have been cut off, but stumps are still embedded.
There is also a Sanctus bell which still has canons and crown staple.
The bells are in a 4 bell frame. The empty pit still has original hardwood bearings let into the top cill. The missing bell was removed when the tower clock was installed in the room below.
