Trinity's bells and fittings were replaced by Llewellins and James Ltd of Castle Green, at a cost of £47. 10s. An additional cost of £3. 10s is incurred through having to remove the floor to get the new bells in.

We have not found a record of why the original bells were removed prior to 1927. Possibly removal took place during WWI when bells - which contained large amounts of copper and tin - were removed from belfries during and melted down for military purposes.

During a later period when the building sat empty, the bells were taken and either sold for scrap or to another church. The towers now have feature lighting thanks to funding from Heritage Lottery Fund and match funders to repair the building in 2017-18.
