The 10 cwt ring of six in this steeple is the work of Mears & Stainbank and dates from1875. The bells were rehung on new fittings by Eayre & Smith in 1992 in their original two tier oak frame.
An order has now been received to remove the entire installation from the tower for a major restoration. A new two tier cast iron bell frame seated on hardwood base timbers will be manufactured and installed, and all the 1992 fittings will be fully refurbished before the ring is rehung.
* The bells have been removed from the tower and will be on display in the church for a short period.
* The bells and their fittings have been delivered to Loughborough and their fittings stripped.
* The bells have been measured..
* The cleaning of the bells and their fittings by gentle sand blasting has been completed..
* The headstocks have had new gudgeons fitted and are ready for the bells to be attached.
* The tuning of the bells is complete.
* The patterns for the lower tier of the bellframe are being altered in preparation for moulding.
* New seating pads have been fitted to the heads of the bells and are now being machined.
* The new two tier bell frame has been designed and awaits final approval before building.
