    In the event of a German invasion it was a requirement to ring the church bells. The Llandyssil, Montgomeryshire, Home Guard got the opportunity to practice their rapid response when the church bells were rung inadvertently in September 1940. This caused great alarm that day as church bells in nearby villages followed the example.
