Notes
[1]Status of bells
The hemispherical bells were formerly hung in the bell turret, which was taken down circa 1961. They are now bolted to the underside of the pews at the back of the gallery about six inches above the floor in a straight line with mouths downwards and struck using a wooden mallet.
