The historic bells at Barnoldswick's St Mary le Gill Church have been moved for the first time in more than 100 years.

The bells, which were first put in the church in 1723, have been taken away to be restored thanks to ongoing fundraising efforts. They were last restored in 1881.

Barnoldswick vicar the Rev John Lancaster said: "A lot of people will never have seen the bells because they have been up in the bell tower. For them to be moved like this happens less than once-in-a-lifetime."
