Notes
[1]Note on the frames layout
The back 3 bells are in the 1953 frame. The additional 2 bells are in separate new frames, of which the 2nd (of 5) is adjacent, while the treble (of 5) is set away to allow space for a pit to be constructed for a future treble between it and the main frame. All the bells (including a future treble) swing in the same direction except for the tenor.
