The renovation works on our bells and bell frame are complete and we are home! 13 ringers came out to test out the bells to check for snagging, but everything has been completed to a high standard and everything is in order.
Reverend Joe Moffatt popped up the tower and opened the ringing with a prayer to our renovated bells and to the bell ringers.
Some nerdy stats: 9 litres of undercoat was used (3 1/2 x 2 1/2 litre cans) and 17.5 litres of Nicholson grey topcoat was used (3 1/2 x 5 litre cans). Chris from Nicholson said that the grey gives it a brightness and opens up the pit (for when we are scrabbling underneath the bells to put muffles on).
It’s good to be back!
