Progress report and photos from Kate C:
Report, 25 March: Tomorrow Martin and Chris from Nicholsons will open up the traps to raise the wheels and the headstock for the 11th into the bell chamber when all the painting is finished. Only the 11th bell cage, all the headstocks and top of the frame are left to go for applying a final top coat tonight. Martin was trying not to paint himself into a corner!
On Monday 30th, they’ll be back with the new tenor stay, all the clappers and remaining fittings to put the bells back together onto the frame for ringing.
The bell ringers will be back ringing on Easter Sunday.
