After the church, we went around to see the bells
The tower is open!
Its a tiny door, I was worried, will I fit? and if i do fit, will I be able to turn? or get stuck? 
Bloody tiny steps
With tiny windows
This is the bell room. This lady is explaining how the bell works with a little model. 
The bell ropes. 
Various notices including one which is protesting against going metric, heh. 
This lady is a teacher at Diya’s school
The bell sheet. 
Another notice…
Peering out of the window
We are going up. 
Here are the actual bells. 
Fascinating, I have never seen the bells like this. I always thought that the bells were actually down, but actually they are upside down when ringing. Did you know that? I didn't.
Then I reach the top. 
Views of the village. 
There is the old ruined church
Diya peeking up
That’s the church roof
The graveyard
Another view of the old church
We live thataway
That’s the entrance
The flagpole
And how its attached to the base
The church roof, steep steep steep
The lady is worried about her child
I'm leaning way over the wall, don't worry, my centre of gravity is well down
Mind your head
A little grinning devil
We are heading down
Then we are given a master class
Diya gets a box to stand on
We are ready to ring…
Here is the video of her ringing the bells.
And then this group who played properly.
