From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 15th September 1888:
Warminster. Tubular Bells To Be Returned.
After a trial for seven weeks, the parishioners of Christ Church have decided to return the peal of tubular bells supplied on approval by a Coventry firm. So the doleful tone of the old bells will be heard as before.
Mr. W.B. Coates said he had found that nine out of ten townspeople were against the tubular bells.
[Before discussing the bells, the meeting passed a vote of censure on the Local Board for the inadequate lighting of the streets.]
