Bell Fund ensures the church bells at St Mary’s can ring for future generations

The bells were delivered to Taylor’s Foundry where the bells were restored whilst work was also carried out in the bell tower to provide a suitably sturdy framework for the bells to be remounted onto. 

The bells have now made a joyous return to the church where they are rung frequently for everyone to enjoy. 

Church bells are so symbolic of the life of the church and the nation and with the national events such as the coronation there has been an increase in the numbers of people learning to ring in recent years.  It is predicted this will put increased pressure on the Bell Fund, which relies on fundraising activity and an affiliation scheme with parishes in the Diocese.  

Please consider whether your parish is able to support this vital work this year by making an annual contribution.
