Frame and Fittings
The bells hang in wooden frame for four but laid out for six. The frame, and presumably the fittings, date from the 1898 rehanging by Mallaby of Masham. At present they are deemed unringable and this may be partly due to their being hung in the very top stage of a tall thin tower. As can be seen from the photographs the frame and fittings, though neglected, are not beyond use.
The above photograph shows bells 1 and 2 with 3 just visible to the right.
