SIR - What an interesting letter from John Hinton about the ringing of the St Nicholas Church bells.

I was born in Pheasant Street during the Second World War and those bells used to be rung every Sunday morning before the service and again at evening time for quite long periods. I used to go to Old St Martins Church myself and we also had bells, but not so many.

I would guess there must be about nine or more bells in the tower.
