The bells, the bells!

It's not often you find a whole peal of bells standing on the ground. The Cromer Church bells have been undergoing refurbishment at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry from where 5 of the 6 that have rung out over the town were cast in 1873. All but one of the earlier bells were sold in 1767 to help pay for roof repairs. The bell second from the left is an original dating from 1495 and that to the left is the tenor which weighs 635kg. Two new bells at the far end have been paid for by donations and will bring the peal to a full octave when they are rehung in the church.

Christ Church has a peal of ten bells of which two date back to 1775 when it was built, whilst the two treble bells were hung in 1947.
