Another stayStay repairs again - not really anyone's fault at all as the third stay has been badly bent and clinging to life for some time now. However the bell now has a nice new stay ready for our latest batch of learners. If you fancy trying the art of bellringing do come along and see what we do one Thursday evening.

Latest news is that this tower now has the newest ropes after new nylon ropes with sallies have been made up. Bell inscriptionsHave recently found some wax rubbings of the inscriptions taken of the bells before they were installed in 1977. A much easier task then when access was a lot easier. These rubbings were used as part of the advertising display used to raise money to complete the installation. They show the decorative part of the bells including some names and a image of a King George 1 two guinea gold piece which shows up especially clearly on the second bell. Find out more on the bell detail page.
