* The bell-ringing team get ready in the bell tower for the quarter peal.
To mark National Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp bell ringers at St Collen's Church rang a quarter peal this afternoon (Monday) starting from 4.30pm.
This meant about 45 minutes of continuous ringing with the bells half-muffled as they traditionally are for Remembrance Sunday.
Six ringers took part and the quarter peal was made up of 1,260 changes.
The bells at St Collen's, high up in the tower, were installed in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
