Editing Romsey Abbey (section)

==Bells==
The church's bells were once housed in a detached [[campanile]]. After its demolition in 1625, the set of six bells was transferred to a wooden belfry on top of the central tower.  They were replaced by a new set of eight in 1791; the heaviest, the tenor, weighing 26 cwt.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Perkins |first1=Thomas|title= A Short Account of Romsey Abbey |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/22880   |series=Bell’s Cathedral Guides |year=1907 |publisher=George Bell & Sons |location=London |page=35 }}</ref> Three of the bells were recast in 1932. The bells and their eighteenth-century bell frame were restored in 2007, when removing the crown reduced the weight of the tenor to 22 cwt. The bells are now known across the region for being one of the finest rings of 8 bells.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}
