The tower of this church houses a complete Taylor eight with a tenor bell weighing 16 cwts. The entire installation dates from 1948, and maintenance work is now needed to keep things in good working order.
The bells will be lifted from their pits and their bearings will be cleaned/replaced as necessary. The clappers, crown staples and rope roller boxes will be removed to Loughborough for complete refurbishment. Other minor maintenance issues including the replacement of stop blocks and the fitting of flapper boards will also be addressed.
On further examination the tenor gudgeons were found to be loose and its headstock will be returned to Loughborough for them to be replaced.
Work on this project started on Monday 12th August.
