Lighthorne, Warwickshire, St Laurence's Parish Church.


The tower of this church houses a 5 cwt ring of six by four different founders dating between 1410 & 2006. In 2006 The Whitechapel Bell Foundry carried out a major restoration and augmentation.

The tenor bell was cast by the Worcester Foundry circa 1410 and is a poor sounding bell, so it is to be replaced with a post war Taylor bell that has become redundant after the closure of St Nicholas' Church, Radford, Coventry.

The bell will be tuned to match, and the 2006 fittings will be adapted and reused. The old tenor bell will be equipped with chiming fittings for stationary sounding and will be rehung as a service bell.
