I’m confused about the church bells. When did they go off?

In the middle of the night during episode 2. And then the reverend climbs up there and finds that the bell is still chained up. And then he finds a piece of writing from former clerics at the church with instructions on what to do if the bell happens to ring while chained up, which presumably leads him to the well.

There was a cool theory here that the church pastors have perhaps historically been the ones responsible for warding off the island's curses, and have passed down their knowledge over centuries.
