Notes

[1]Origin of bells

The chime of 8 bells by Taylors were rescued from the demolished church of Birmingham, All Saints in 1975.

Published: 16/02/2025

[2]Service bell

The service bell is the original bell for the present church, hung diagonally in a corner of the tower from a wooden headstock mounted in the walls. The note is Bb (i.e. between bells 2 and 3 of the chime) but it is not roped with the chime or used with the chime bells
