– Sorry that we kept many people awake with the church bells last night. There has been some kind of technical failure in the automatic system for ringing the bell, the people responsible in the church write on Facebook. – We don’t know what the cause is, says vicar Odd Bjarne Ellefsen on Sunday morning. Kept people awake He was called by the police at 4.20 on Sunday night that the bells were ringing, and rushed to the church with a church servant to stop them. – By then the bells had been ringing for an hour. We don’t know the reason, and last night we were mostly concerned with getting the bells stopped, says the vicar. Parish priest Odd Bjarne Ellefsen in Grim parish regrets that the church bells suddenly started ringing on the night of Sunday.

Sorry once again. Reduced ringing on Sunday On Sunday morning, vicar Odd Bjarne Ellefsen says that they will cut out bell ringing completely in connection with the service at 11 o’clock. – Normally we ring for five minutes at 10 and 10.30, and then a few minutes before 11 o’clock, but today we cut it completely out. The population of Grim has probably heard enough of them today, he says. The cause of the error is not known, but they hope they find out and that it does not happen again.
