The tower and ruins of Christ Church, Crewe

Looking towards the freestanding tower of Christ Church, which was retained when large parts of the church were demolished between 1977-1979 due to dry rot. In the foreground are parts of the former wall of the church, and services are still held in a section that still stands. http://www.scfhs.org.uk/scfhs/christchurch_crewe_intro.html The tower still contains a full ring of ten bells (more than most churches which rarely have more than eight) and is highly regarded in bell ringing circles. http://dove.cccbr.org.uk/detail.php?searchString=crewe&Submit=+Go+&DoveID=CREWE (Thanks to Stephen Craven for the information regarding the bells)
