Notes
[1]Frame notes
The oak frame is slightly unusual in that the section containing the 5th and tenor bells (2 pits end to end) is separate from the rest of the frame containing the front four bells. From north to south, bells 1, 2, 3 and 4 swing side by side in an east-west direction on the eastern side of the tower. The 5th and tenor swing mouth to mouth in a north-south direction on the western side. [Whites of Appleton report]
