| Projects & overhauls | 1958 by Mears & Stainbank (major overhaul) The rebuilding work was completed. G&J had closed and Mears could only recover 2 of the bells. The others may have been broken up in error. The bells were therefore rehung for stationary chiming & the old frame and bell chamber floor removed. 1951 by Gillett & Johnston Decreased in number from 4 bells Bells 1 and 2 were discovered to be missing at Gillett & Johnston's foundry in Croydon. They were never recovered. 1946 by Gillett & Johnston Converted from full-circle ring The roof over the main body of the church collapsed. It was decided to rebuild and the bells were to be rehung for ringing in a new frame. They were sent to Gillett & Johnston at Croydon. |
