Notes
[1]Notes about the bell
The old bells in this tower were moved to the new church in Albury when it was built. In 2008, a bell was installed by the Friends of Albury Church. It can be seen from the crossing, as the tower is open to the roof. The secretary of the Friends at the time tells me ‘The bell which now hangs in the church was just an unknown bell which was found in one of the sheds at Albury Park Mansion! It was thought that it might have been a bell which called the workmen at mealtimes.’ (Bill Hibbert)
