Haworth church bells.
The six bells (4 at the front 2 at the rear of video) were installed by Mears and Stainbank of London in 1845 after the money was raised by public subscription instituted by Patrick Bronte.
The largest bell (the tenor, rear right in video) carries an inscription to this effect and weighs 10 cwt 3 qtr and 16 lb. (555kg).
After some years of neglect, the bells and their fittings were restored by John Taylors of Loughborough in 1988.
The bells are rung regularly by the local band of ringers. Information about Haworth Guild of Bellringers more...
