[1]From Keltek site
The three Warner bells (tenor 3 cwt) have been replaced with a ring of six bells based on the lightest four of the Grainger’s Lane Methodist church, Cradley Heath chime. Two new treble bells were added to the modern Taylor bells to complete the ring of six. The new tenor weight is 3-3-9. The Trust acquired the old ring of three bells and the two tenors have been installed at Otterham, Cornwall as part of the project to augment from three to six. The remaining bell is now a clock bell at Eastbach Court, English Bicknor.
