But by its nature a bell tower has holes in the floors all the way up to the well ventilated bell chamber. My money would be on a fuel cell for some sort of radio system.

In 40 plus years of RF comms I've never seen that ever despite being involved in RF installations fn churches and historic listed buildings.
Why doesn't the OP ask then why its there, if its hydrogen it shouldn't be there anyway its flammable!..

Think may have answer from a poster on another forum , who after a bit of t hread necromancy emailed the bell ringer in a church with similar cylnders;
"Up in the ringing chamber (the room where the bellropes hang down) there i s some highly technical looking equipment which is apparently analysing met hane in the atmosphere. I believe that the sensor is out on the roof at the top of the tower. I suspect that the various compressed gases may well be part of that analysis. It's a bit odd having the machinery making odd beepi ng ticking noises from time to time, but we've got used to it."
Which sounds like it might be this sort of gear:

which uses hydrogen as a fuel.

A nice little earner for the church. Any thoughts on what organisation would be doing this monitoring?

If God looks after his own, why do they fit lightning conductors to churches?

Someone once wrote somewhere (Probably Robert Heinlein in one of his later science fiction books) that the battle between science and religion had been settled the day the first lightning conductor was fitted to a church tower.

Which reminds me of :-
I'm sure many of you have heard the joke-parable of a man on his rooftop during a flood. As the floodwaters were rising, first, a man in a dingy came by and said, "get in", and the man on the roof replied, "No Thanks, I'm praying and waiting on the Lord." Next, a lifeguard came by, and again, the man refused the help, saying he was waiting on the Lord. Finally, even a helicopter was refused with the same excuse, he was waiting on the Lord. After dying in the floodwaters, and getting to heaven, the man asks God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replies, "I sent you the dingy, the lifeguard and helicopter, what did you expect?"
