Restoration of St Paul's Church Bells

The 2 bells were taken down today. They'll probably be restored in good time for Christmas, but not quite in time for the Armistice Day centenary.
The smaller bell was cast in 1766, so it's older than St Paul's Church. Churchwarden Alison Miles will do some research about this.
