initially reported as missing, a church bell taken from the historic former Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church is now stolen, reports, BayToday.
The bell, made of bronze or brass was noted by neighbours of the former church, to be missing on September 15. It is possible that the bell was destroyed as debris of wood had been found scattered on the ground.
The church had to be closed down in 2006 due to declining numbers and financial hardships. Even while the church itself was not in use, the cemetery and yards remained well kept.
