Walterstone, Herefordshire, St Mary's Parish Church.

This tiny parish Church in rural Herefordshire has two bells hung in its western turret. The larger of the two weighs approximately 4 cwts, the smaller about 20 pounds. The bells will be removed and brought back to Loughborough for conservation and cleaning. New chiming fittings will be manufactured for both bells - swing chiming fittings for the larger bell and stationary electro-magnetic fittings for the small bell.

* Both bells have been cleaned and had their cast-in iron staples removed.

* The new headstocks are being manufactured.

* The bells are being rehung on 24th August.
