Summary edit
| Description |
English: Saltaire United Reformed church Bell tower A rare photograph of the bells balancing in the up position.
The bells were rung for the last time to celebrate the signing of the Armistice in 1918, and by 1922 were in a bad way when inspected by Taylors. They recommended a new frame and fittings, but no action was taken.. By the 1930s YACR Reports were listing practice ringing by arrangement with Alfred Riley, which suggests wishful thinking about their condition. By 1936 they had been officially declared unringable. The YACR Report for 1937/38 shows Riley as deceased, and this is the last mention of Saltaire in the annals of the Association. It is likely that interest in the bells died along with their last ringer, and they were removed during the Second World War and sold for scrap for £85. They were reinstated in September 2003, and as is the tradition each bell is named. One is named Titus, another is Jonathan.The bells were cast in Eindhoven, Holland, by Royal Eijsbout Foundry.
