Units
For those unfamiliar with Imperial measures, the weights are given in hundredweights (cwt), quarters (qtr) and pounds (lb). The approximate conversions are:
1 hundredweight = 112 lb = 51 kg
1 quarter = 28 lb = 13 kg
In the belfry there is also what is known as an Ellacombe Apparatus,
which enables the bells to be sounded by pulling on a system of ropes.
This can be carried out by one person who can ring simple rounds or
may decide to ring hymn tunes by reading numbers from a card.
