Before leaving Perth had a quick look around the bell tower they have. St. Martins church
Lend me a farthing say the bells of St. Martins
were going to melt their bells down and remake them, as they were too heavy for their bell tower and it was all going to fall down (eventually). Perth city council said “hold on a minute” (or something like that) and offered to take the bells, and give them the metal they needed.
End result was that St. Martins got what they wanted, and Perth got a nice set of tubular bells.
Ringing the bells is quite an art, takes about 3 months training to do it properly.
