Bells removed and put into storage. The treble went to Wittersham to augment their ring to 8. The tenor went to Eastry, although a mistake was made and at the time this was believed to be the 2nd. |

What was thought to be the tenor (but was the 2nd) was donated to Waltham to be broken up and the metal used for casting their additional bells. The church elected to sell it to the Kelteck Trust. |

The Keltek bell was on offer to All Saints, Normanton, W Yorks to augment their bells. This was abandoned and was offered to St John's RC Cathedral, Limerick (tuned at Whitechapel) as the 2nd of a chime of 4 (reweighed at 6-1-0, tuned to 5-3-3). |

The fact that Eastry was actually in possession of the tenor was discovered when the tuning figures were measured. Kelteck (and therefore Limerick) had received the 2nd by mistake. The tenor was found to be unsuitable for Eastry! |
