The tower of this church houses an unringable complete five by William Huntbatch dating from 1687 with a tenor bell weighing 9 cwts – they surely must be unique.
The bells will be removed to Loughborough for cleaning and conservation – no tuning will be allowed. Mostly new ringing fittings will be manufactured, including new cast iron headstocks, clappers, crown staples and rope roller boxes. The bell wheel centres will be modified and have new soling and shrouding. The oak bell frame will be strengthened before the bells are rehung.
- Â The bells have been conserved and cleaned.
- Â The new headstocks have been cast.
- Â The bell wheels have been modified and repaired.
- All is ready for dispatch.
