Anyone else noticed the town have had a new clock chimer installed, goes off every 15-30 minutes I think.

Nope, but while watching a commedian at the gatehouse last week, all we could here was church bells, throughout the whole thing!

St Mary's used to make a lot of noise on Wednesday evenings.

They've had new/refurbished bells at St Marys, so unlikely to be a chimer, it will be the real thing
The bells chime every 15 minutes in these parts, as long as the OH has remembered to wind the clock and we've remembered to put the hammers back on after ringing for a service...

There was some scaffolding around the clock in Mill Street yesterday but I didn't hear it chiming.

Enjoying a drop of red.
Depends how hard the wind blows.

You say that, but (somewhere) I have a picture of 'Gayton Cathedral', built over a chap's drawing board, to a height of about fifteen feet, prefabricated from scaffold poles and painted plywood. It was created in secret over many lunch hours and then it was erected over his board whilst he went for lunch the day before his wedding and contained bells made from tuned lengths of pipe, played remotely via strings to the hammers.
