An English village church bell silent for 150 years is finally ringing again after a family shipped it to a wedding chapel - in Australia. <br /><br />The bell once rang for worshippers at St James church in Upton in Somerset - but now heralds newlyweds in Green Point, New South Wales.<br /><br />Cherie Reid, who built the wedding chapel at Kantara House in Oz, rescued the bell - which dates from about 1550 - from disrepair in the UK.<br /><br />She then travelled to Britain and flew it 9,500 miles home - using a crane to install it in its new home. It is now Australia's oldest ringing church bell.<br /><br />Cherie said it had been difficult to source a bell in Australia.
