NINE ( perhaps FIVE ) BELLS

Also remembered as the FIVE BELLS.

A large clay lump building with tiled roof.
Demolished by the 1960's.

By the 1940's the property was already divided into three dwellings.

The Smiths lived at the West end, a family of 2 males and 2 females.
Emma Smith stayed at home to keep the house.

In the middle lived Fred and Lotty Robinson with their 3 daughters.

At the other end was `Old' Mrs Robinson and her son Ben, who was a local gamekeeper.

The mystery deepens :-

Alburgh Church had only 4 bells until 1730,
when the peal was increased to 6.

Later the number increased to 8 bells.
