Title: | In 1753 the tower was raised in height |
Text: | In 1753 the tower was raised in height about 24 feet; but the increased weight of the masonry proved too great for the old piers which supported it, and on March 26th 1776 the fall of the tower took place only a minute after the ringers left it. |
