A woman has taken to Facebook to share her confusion over why church bells were "going off" at 4am.
The bells at St Barnabas church in Bromborough have struck on the hour since 1887 and the familiar noise is a constant feature of life in the town. Since 928 the same site, founded by an Anglo-Saxon king, has always been home to a church.
However, the woman has hit out at church and the time it rings its bell. Posting a local Wirral Facebook group she asked: "why are the church bells going off at 4am". The post has since racked up more than 25 comments.
